Details Limited Release: Apr 04, 2003; Rated: PG-13; Length: 97 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Foreign Language; With: Kati Outinen and Markku Peltola

A delicate, deadpan comedy -- and best-foreign-film Oscar nominee -- about a man who loses his memory during a mugging, then creates a new life for himself on the fringes of Helsinki. Aki Kaurismaki's marvelous, stubbornly personal film is filled with social compassion, dark jokes, and a great rock & roll soundtrack.
