Dostoyevsky goes rock'n roll! Aki Kaurismäki - the Finnish Auteur season opens ambitiously with an adaptation of this literary classic, which Hitchcock himself claimed be too difficult for big screen. 'I'll show you boy' was Kaurismäki's answer to this challenge. What a debut feature!

Aki Kaurismäki - the Finnish cinema auteur.
Five early films from the master of dry, dark deadpan humour. His films rely on low-key acting, simple cinematic storytelling and are always accompanied by stylish soundtracks and calm, but beautiful cinematography. No other film-maker is quite able to celebrate the lives of such uniquely inarticulate, alienated, unglamorous or misunderstood characters with such style and dry wit. His film 'The Man Without a Past' won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival 2002.
