Long Good Thursday
(Mielensäpahoittajan rakkaustarina)
- Mika Kaurismäki
- Finland
Set in the lush days of a Finnish summer, Mika Kaurismaki’s Long Good Thursday is a gentle comedy of growing older and of accepting the never-ending possibility of finding joy. Finnish comedy star Heikki Kinnunen plays an aging farmer intent on finishing his life in the home he shared with his late wife. Much to his surprise, he finds himself smitten with a free-spirited artist (the ever alluring Jaana Saarinen) intent on using him as a model for her photography. Similar in tone to Hannes Holm’s A Man Called Ove, Long Good Thursday perfectly balances deadpan humor with simple yet profound observations about our shared journey of aging.
