NATURE AND CITY
Director AKI KAURISMÄKI (La Vie de Boheme) is in love with silent movies such as 'Broken Blossoms' by Griffith, 'Sunrise' by Murnau, 'Nanook' by Flaherty, 'A Woman of Paradise' by Chaplin, or 'Jeanne d'Arc' by Dreyer. His recent film JUHA leaves out spoken words too. Instead, dramatic music and sound leads you through a triangle love affair in black and white shots full of expression. A modern masterpiece.
