| User ReviewSami Nsuomalaisen "junttihuumorin" esimerkillinen teos, vai mitä Frank? |
| User ReviewOlli S"Mul on viime aikoina mennyt vähän lujaa." not just probably the funniest and the most obscure finnish movie of all time, it's one of the greatest finnish films ever. Kaurismaki should make more movies while wasted. |
| User ReviewPrivate UGenius again! 20 desperate men, each codenamed Frank, embark on an existential crime, not entirely sure what that turned out to be, as it was rather oblique and the subtitles didnt come on... Even so, one of my favourite films of all time. Go see it or die a fool... |
| User ReviewAnssi Kvähemmän kuin 5 tähteä on loukkaus. |
| User ReviewTibor B"Silly" has never been more sublime. Totally and wonderfully surreal. |
| User ReviewFernando YA collection of absurd incidents - bizarrely humorous. Highly original work, but lacking some overall coherence. Acting seems - in a very Kaurismäki way - to balance between poorly amateur and brilliant. |
| User ReviewMarco BMitä täskäkin nyt pystyy sanomaan, Frank? |
| User ReviewEmiliai rarely like finnish movies but this is great and full of attitude. |
| User ReviewPetri JAbout 15 guys (all named Frank, except one) embark on an epic journey to get to... the other side of town. It's not as easy as it sounds. It reminded me a lot of Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. And like Kaurismaki's later film, Leningrad Cowboys Go America, it's essentially an absurdist travelogue, with a little more "absurd" and a little less "travel". Not quite as funny, as some of the monologues call a halt to the comedy. But otherwise a really fun time. |
| User ReviewNikolas GIhan hauska, mutta vailla päätä ja häntää |
