(MU) Aki se encontró a sí mismo y a sus entrañables Matti Pelonpaa(aquí como el directo y tierno basurero) y Kati Outinen como la cajero subversiva ensayando para su gran actuación en "La chica de la fábrica de cerillas"...

"Так, видимо второй день подряд финский артхаусный аутизм про людей из низших слоёв общества смотреть уже не особо интересно. По-началу вроде всё впорядке, но затем фильм будто сбивается с темпа, какого-то адекватного повествования или чего-то ещё и становится непонятным и "

"4.1. (Yle Areena) Siitä on jo aikaa. Aika menee nopeasti. Muistan, kuinka lainasin Kaurismäkeä Kannelmäen kirjaston uumenista vuonna nakki ja käpy. Muistan junien olleen punaisia ja niillä olisi kulkenut, vaikka Siperiassa. Muistan myös kohtauksen, jossa Nikander kokkaa aterian itselleen ja katselee ikkunasta Helsingin katuja melankolinen ilme kasvoillaan. Itselleni tuo tuokio kiteyttää kaiken sen kauniin, jota Kaurismäen elokuvissa on. Varjoja Paratiisissa on muutenkin Akin parhaimmi"
