The Man Without A Past DVD VIDEO MOVIE Aki Kaurismki's love loneliness poverty

Description: STOCK PHOTOS ONLY An unidentified man gets severely beaten by a trio of thugs and ends up in the hospital, where he dies--but suddenly reawakens without knowing who he is. He wanders into a small, poverty-stricken community where families live in small containers and a night out means dinner at the Salvation Army. It is there that M meets Irma, another poor soul looking for a better life--and maybe love. Aki Kaurismki's THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST begins with horrible violence, but after that it becomes a longing, beautiful study of love and loneliness, of pain and poverty, of faith and fragility. Markku Peltola stars as the amnesiac known only as M; Kati Outinen plays Irma with great care and tenderness for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Finnish writer-director-producer Kaurismki's film won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes; it is wonderfully satiric, sweet and innocent, and brutally honest, following in the footsteps of such other Kaurismki triumphs as JUHA and THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL. Product Details Additional Details "...Kaurismaki's originality makes his MAN both extremely affecting and engaging. He shows sensitivity to his characters and their resilience without sentimentalizing them..." Box Office - Ed Scheid (04/01/2003) "...Full of bright color, exquisitely strange dialogue and music....It is at once artful and unpretentious, sophisticated and completely accessible, sure of its own authority and generous toward characters and audience alike..." New York Times - A. O. Scott (04/04/2003) "...The message, if there must be one, of this marvelous, stubbornly personal movie is that there is a spark in every soul..." Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (04/11/2003) "...It's the pleasures of the unexpected that make THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST such a delicious blend of hilarity and heartbreak..." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (04/17/2003) "Relying heavily on atmospheric silence and stoic stillness, the film is wholly and completely involving. The soundtrack is superb..." Uncut - Wendy Ide (02/01/2003) "...One of the funniest pictures the disarming director has made..." Premiere - Glenn Kenny (12/01/2002) "...Outinen gives a pitch-perfect performance, as do all the cast..."
