this be a movie of which i keep on read the review again and again while and despite it be play at film museum and not at pathe theatre i decide to give this movie a try . the reason be many in the review it be compare with pulp fiction and it have several parallel story run in the movie and lastly it have already win 17 award internationally in various category . i be eager to see this movie and due to my off day at greenpeace i decide to make myself happy by go and see this movie . it be a story base in finland . i think it reflect the current life of people in general drug and crime and sex and anger and anguish and fear and guilt . every emotion be capture brilliantly in the movie . there be several character and story interwoven but a few character come back in the latter half make a link with the beginning sequence and that take the story forward . the story be about two friend one of whom be computer geek and the other be a drug addict son of an abusive father . the drug addict boy trade a euro 500 note print by his friend to buy back his music system and and in return get huge change of cash back to buy more drug . the trading of euro 500 note continue to bizarre event from the shop trader to an auto mechanic cum robber to a car dealer to a vacuum clean salesman to a prostitute to a police officer then to her family and child . how the beginning of a small thing create a chain reaction that lead even after 5 year of that first incident to a depressing last note which i would not reveal here . the direction be excellent . the character development in the movie be first rate . the character that stick on your mind even after you come out of the movie be of the vacuum clean sale person . all the department of the movie be handle nicely . here i would like to make a couple of critical comment . first and during the sequence of one event lead to another i felt that the coincidence be too rapid and force . but this screenplay write error be pardon when one see the whole canvas . second and the trail of one character lead to another somehow lead back to the first two character and that again i find to be a forced decision by the screen play writer . there be no need to have the same character show up again when there be different cause lead to different effect in such a big city . but after say that it be an excellent movie . it be a dark movie with quite a few sex scene . the character be have the black and white and gray shade and emotion that change from face different situation which be brilliantly capture by the director . a top rate movie . it have all the ingredient of become a cult movie . i hope that only such movie should not become and achieve the status of cult movie and win lot of award and because without crime and sex and violence and drug etc . too one can make fantastic movie bicycle thief and pather panchali be it prime example only thing be that they be a long time back and time be change and i think movie be reflect the current time .
