moral of the film is; if you do something as STUPID and SELFISH as giving up the demon drink for a woman, god WILL have you hit by a train. fuck me the finnish tourist board must be paying kaurismaki a retainer no to make films because helsinki looks fucking bleak in this.

pretty to look at, killer score, funny in parts, but goes nowhere. maybe i’m missing something but just no for me. first ever time in the filmhouse (who rudely did not give me a job i applied for, so have been visciously and presumably noticeably boycotted by me up until now).

rules in a very ott zemeckis kind of way. brilliant fun.

i never carve out time to watch films anymore, but i had an early finish from gigging so i made a conscious effort to sit down and watch something of a saturday evening.  glad it was this. miraculously good film. de palma is god.
