Aki Kaurismaki

Do yourself a favor and check out the films of Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki. I was fortunate enough to see his newest "Le Havre" at the Historic AVALAON (a non-profit, community-run art house theater in Uptown DC) last weekend. After seeing it, I was eager to see more, so I downloaded "The Man Without a Past". Both films are unique, captivating. The director has a powerful stylistic vision and his films have a special fairy-tale quality to them.
