Dani G Don't you feel like the french movies of Kaurismaki are not like the finnish ones? It's like the same, but not. Although this one in particular does feel a little more close to that than Le Havre, maybe because he brought more of his actors, and the thematic of course Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorites! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member "I've been summoned by Gassot, the newspaper czar. He's founding a fashion magazine, 'The Sash of Iris', and plans to make me editor-in-chief. If I show up in this getup, he may change his mind." "You can't accept his offer anyway. Gassot is a supporter of the right. Your principles won't allow you to eat bread bathed in the sweat of the people." "You're mistaken. He's in the left flank of the right wing in Parliament. Just yesterday he voted for widows' pensions. Besides, he knows influential people whom I'll convince to commission compositions from you and portraits from Rodolfo." "That changes everything." If there's a better movie about bohemians (declassed intellectuals), then I don't know of it. And surely there is none funnier. (But also, of course, beautiful, and sad.)

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Existentialism is just the topping of this pessimistic, black-and-white cake. Kaurismäki knows that the genre of the source material he adapted is <u>drama</u>, but when did some splashes of humor hurt anyone, especially if you have a very rich character development justifying your directorial plot management? Even if that was not enough, we are offered two sides of a tragedy: the one that comes from the ingratitude towards art when such profession is your profession, and the one that comes with the package called <i>life</i>. Whereas I agree that art in general is a greatly underappreciated profession, <i>La Vie de Bohème</i> suggests between lines that the true art in this life is the art of living and facing such aforementioned tragedies. 97/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Hieno tunnelma.
