Aki Kaurismäki, the most sentimental (RSI interview, 1989)

Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki is interviewed by DRS at the Foce della Maggia in front of a snack bar. In this unsophisticated context, but one that is fully in line with his character, Kaurismäki dispenses pearls of his sarcastic and disillusioned wisdom, telling us about his approach to cinema - his Ariel is shown out of competition at the Locarno Film Festival - and to life, as well as about Finnish cinematography and his country’s audience.
