Aki Kaurismaki - Interview 1990

[@kontrapunkti]

"Is he rich?" - "Not anymore, he financed my films" Hahahah Aki is the man

[@CatchTheBus]

exactly

[@gadamer102]

Just a few directors in the world have their own cinema language and Aki Kaurismäki is one of them! I love you Aki!

[@nikkijaneallison]

I can't express enough how much I love Aki's works and the actors that he worked/ works with. I love everything what's in his films.

[@mishtaromaniello8295]

“But you are concerned?” “We’ll I’m not a conservative.” This guy lmfao

[@annaalbury7748]

I love his films. He is so deadpan and subtle. Yes, he is an auteur. I love that. I'm so intrigued to see this interview.

[@aloha5527]

Most genius artist in modern cinema. Absolutely talent!

[@ToastedCigar]

Aki is a great artist. I actually grew up in the same town in Southern-Finland where Aki spends his summers at. I've had a few short chats with him when I've visited that town, a very interesting person.

[@calabiyou]

so fun, makes me want to stay indoors drinking watching his films.

[@mishtaromaniello8295]

I revisit this interview frequently. Proof you can be a blue-collar, quiet, sarcastic, regular bloke and be able to make great films.

[@geraldmellon740]

Proof positive that throwing millions of dollars at films is not necessary ; Aki makes films on a shoestring (and it shows) but the story is always told with great tenderness and skill. A true master.

[@swenwukong]

Excellent interview, thank you for posting this. I've gotten really hooked on Kaurismaki movies lately. I'm popping one a day, sometimes two if there's time. They're utterly engrossing, funny and heartbreaking. The ideas in the last five or so minutes of "The Match Factory Girl" alone would have been enough to fuel two or three Hollywood movies, but they would have begun just where Kaurismaki ended. We've all seen enough movies like that, there was no point in going further.

[@Ghostdog_89]

Happy 60th birthday, Master!

[@tom6612]

He makes amazing films that the guys with big bucks could never do. I haven't seen them all but every one i have seen has grabbed me.

[@tonyclifton265]

how can i repay you? - "if ever you see me face down in the street, turn me on my back"

[@inthesphere]

even his interviews look like his films, maybe there're more words though

[@guiboyang]

you are a really maverick, my best wishes to you._from China

[@ChetanJoshiHyd]

Love his movies!!

[@kostbad]

haha... classic Kaurismaki. I've seen him in a Q&A in Thessaloniki Film Festival last year. He answered all the questions in the same manner.

[@tonyclifton265]

aki is the fkn GOAT

[@s0olid]

Thanks.

[@ToastedCigar]

Just passed his house today.

[@draksson]

Art, kaveri on legenda!

[@TACintula]

8:01-8:03 kaurismaki's like "u fuckin cracked out of your mind? hollywood stars would destroy my genius!" lol i love the look he gives the interviewer

[@apexxxx10]

8:01

[@tonyclifton265]

"can i help?" [ with the meal] "no, it's ruined already"

[@319vegeta5]

Awesome jacket

[@batzeth]

I dont understand, what did he said about losers? what did he say abou the match factory girl? where is the second part? I love him so much!

[@myfalsenamedotcome]

He said to call proletarians the characters in his proletariat trilogy is not correct as proletarians are a pretty specific social class. These are well below proletarians, they are straight out losers.

[@lenka34lesoleil]

Thanks! Not a very talkative guy :), but was interesting to see.

[@MarthaDelios]

@M23MATERAZZI , You can just about hear him say 'farce' (and the French subs. confirm that).

[@DocNintendo]

chinese boogie man from manhattan :D

[@wurstkakao]

yeah, same question here! "is there a genre..." he is being asked at the very end and now i'm too curious!!

[@myfalsenamedotcome]

He said farce

[@mattsamroth]

He says he would never do a farce.

[@loudestep]

suuper realisateur qui cree des ambiances 'hooperienne' et qui restitue bien le tragique quotidien

[@gennaro43ify]

Perche' non proiettatte tutti i suoi film con sottotitoli in italiano?Grazie,fareste un'opera meritevole.

[@acadreading02]

Interesting artist... Where can you get his films?

[@mayanksaharan9951]

TPB

[@0630812]

Is there a part 2 ?

[@AlexK32]

@viskitjarommit comedy? or he means stupid movies without background

[@AlexK32]

what does he says at the end when they ask him what kind of movies he would never make?

[@myfalsenamedotcome]

Farce

[@gpwhitem]

"Not anymore, he finance my films." ahahahahahah! I've never heard of this dude, I'm renting his shit net flix right now.

[@Dr._EvilL]

what the fuck i saw literally the same interview what is this a different universe? literally, the same just a different environment wtf is happening reality fucks me up, man...

[@tonyclifton265]

everything he says is funny even though i dont think he intends to be

[@bondball22]

If my grandmother has problems going to sleep i show her a Kaurismaki films and in moments she's fast asleep

[@lenskapvdo]

"Proletariat is wrong, loser trilogy is better"
