THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST (Mies Vailla Menneisyytta) (2002) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Aki Kaurismaki

Written by - Aki Kaurismaki

Starring - Markku Peltola, Kati Outinen

"A man is beaten to death. Miraculously, he awakens, but finds he has lost his memory. This leads him to life in a small poverty stricken community, where he re-discovers the simple pleasures of life and love. Eccentrically deadpan, Kaurismakis’s film is impressively ambiguous and daunting. The visuals are exceptional and the plot too is quite gripping to the point of being addictive."
