when you get experienced enough a a filmmaker and you learn most of the trick of the trade and you realise that the best thing to do for an art house director be to stick mindlessly to whatever make you successful with the festival go crowd and the film critic earlier . never mind that you have no new idea and that the most your film do be deliver the good old feeling everyone expect . that a fate kaurismaki seem not to have be able to avoid with his light in the dusk . totally devoid of any new or creative idea with respect to what we have see from him before and kaurismaki feature recycle his lately trademark and otherwise very appeal darkish and yet basically cheerful colour background and surroundings behind and around the actor . but the story be the most feeble ever . no real suspense and only mindless clichés about a totally hapless main character ( no and this be not irony on the film part and guy and this be just the good old kaurismaki feeling we yearn for and it only seem to work because his other film be enjoyable on their own ) . plus some sentimental music toss in ( who would have expect that from kaurismaki . while ) and without the real possibility for the viewer to relate to the character ( you feel no sorry and no empathy and only anger at most about how incapable they be ) . and finally and even at about 75 minute and this movie be waaaay long than it should be represent another sign of run out of fresh idea . hey aki and you would better take a rest and come back with something that more up to your standard . and my advice for the potential viewer represent watch the other part of the trilogy ( the man without a past and 2002 while drift cloud and 1996 ) and and skip this one .
