絵が綺麗でオシャレでたんたんとしてた。けども簡潔に言いたい事は伝わってきたような。難民問題とか遠い話しと思ってるから、変に激的にしないで淡々とだった事でリアルだった。あと人間良い人の方が多いよねやっぱりと思った。 #映画 #希望のかなた #theothersideofhope

The Other Side of Hope premieres today

The Other Side of Hope, the new movie from Aki Kaurismäki, is out today.

Aki Kaurismäki returns to his native Finland for his latest feature, a bitterly funny and by turns melancholic look at the plight of Khaled, a Syrian refugee attempting to put down roots in Helsinki and track down his lost sister with the help of a former shirt salesman turned restauranteur, all while dodging the cold bureaucratic authorities that seek to deport him.

First look at The Other Side of Hope

A new trailer has been released for The Other Side of Hope. No release date was specified.

Finland’s master of deadpan comedy, Aki Kaurismäki (Lights in the Dusk, Le Havre), returns with The Other Side of Hope, the story of an unlikely friendship between a Syrian asylum seeker and an elderly Finnish restaurant owner. Worthy winner of the 2017 Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director, it’s a beautiful, timely film from one of the world’s leading auteurs.

Khaled (Sherwan Haji) arrives at the port of Helsinki concealed in a coal container, fleeing war-torn Syria to seek asylum in Finland. Dazed and frustrated by the monolithic administration he encounters at the detention centre, he makes a break for it and heads out onto the streets. There he meets Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen), a former shirt salesman who has recently left his alcoholic wife for a new life as a bachelor restaurateur. Together, they help each other to navigate the adversities they face in these unfamiliar and often baffling new worlds.

With hilarious sight gags, poker-faced one-liners and a toe-tapping rockabilly soundtrack, Kaurismäki’s latest balances his unparalleled wit with a pressing critique of the unforgiving bureaucracy that greets vulnerable asylum seekers in modern-day Europe. Humane and sincere, it’s proof of cinema’s power to tell stories that matter, with beauty and heart.
