This movie was just absurd … but at the same so much fun. Who doesn’t want to see a Finnish Super Soldier slaughter nazis, and then slaughter more Nazis and top that off with even more slaughtering of Nazis.
If you want to see a guy board a plane in flight using a pick axe… and then… slaughter more nazis, than this movie for you!
I’ve watched The Man Without a Past several times, and I find it really interesting how the experience varies depending on the setting.
The first time I saw it in a packed theater, and we were all laughing the whole time. As soon as someone let out a chuckle we were all laughing out loud, like a real life laugh track.
Watching it with two friends at home was less laughing out loud and more chuckling and talking about how weird a movie this is.
Both experiences were enjoyable in their own ways, just different.
If I was to name a polar opposite of a Chris Tucker comedy it would be this film.
Have you seen any of the other films that director did? I read it was part of like a 3 part series that was to showcase vibes and art in Finland
That is unfortunately the only one I’ve seen.
Same, I just got stoked when the comm mentioned one of the few foreign films I’ve seen. Gonna build that list though
I’d also like to recommend Fallen Leaves, the latest Aki Kaurismäki film. Very Finnish, very excellent.
Thank you 🙂
