4.0 out of 5 stars Truly an amazing movie, 9 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This movie is not entirely comedy - although to a good number of non-Finns it might appear to be one. This title is an excellent description of Finnish mentality and can be warmly recommended to anyone wishing to learn more about Finnish people. If you have seen other Kaurismäki movies (and liked them), this is definitely the one you should see!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant film from Kaurismäki., 16 April 2006
By David Welsh (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Drifting Clouds [ English subtitles ] [DVD] (DVD)
The first film in Kaurismäki's "Finland Trilogy" examining the effect of social problems on the lives of ordinary Finns, Drifting Clouds looks at the theme of unemployment. The film is centred on a middle aged couple who both lose their jobs in quick succession and their attempts to cope and get their lives back on track. The film is moving, slowly paced and beautifully executed, with the unmistakable stamp of a film set in Kaurismäki's unique and magical world. It's difficult to describe the world Kaurismäki creates in his films, but it's very recognisable and charming. There's always a very dry, subtle, absurd Finnish humour in the background which makes his films much lighter and more watchable than they might otherwise be.

5.0 out of 5 stars precise and very tight directing producing great fun, 27 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Aside from an excess of verbosity and too much smiling all the time, the film demonstrates what can be done by leaving actors to act, writers to write and viewers to follow intently the fortunes of the story. Unfortunately such quality makes the special effects departments redundant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great comedy about unemployment - and yes, it is a comedy
Many countries went on with "restructuring" their economies during the 1990s, and Finland seems to have been no exception. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm
Well, I was rather underwhelmed by this Kaurismäki tale. I've liked other films he's made, but this was for me largely dull, dour and uninspiring. Read more
