Jonathan Ross Presents for One Week Only: Aki Kaurismäki

About This Movie

So, this one is a gem from '91 where Jonathan Ross dives deep into the mind of Aki Kaurismäki, that Finnish director who's got such a unique vibe. The film's shot during the Midnight Sun Film Festival, and you get this intimate look at Kaurismäki while he's promoting 'The Match Factory Girl.' It’s not just Ross talking—there are bits from friends and colleagues that add layers to the whole experience. The pacing feels laid-back, almost like a casual chat over coffee, but you’re left with a strong sense of Kaurismäki's themes of isolation and bleak humor. It’s distinct in how it captures the atmosphere of the festival and the creative spirit of Kaurismäki’s world.
