LOS ANGELES, USA- The delectably sardonic and bittersweet films of Finnish writer/director Aki Kaurismaki remain little-seen in the United States (with the exception of his Oscar-nominated 2002 film The Man Without a Past). Working with a loyal company of actors, Kaurismaki's films are equal parts Beckettian comedy, kitchen-sink melodrama and inebriated Nouvelle Vague lyricism.
