    Still a masterpiece, but after more then 60 years you see the film behind the masterpiece too. Some scenes were just too long but the heart of the film, the scene in her Appartement is still so great: light, unpredictable, flirty charming and intense.

    These dogma films are really awfully ugly, yet the storytelling and the acting is great. Even some stories are a little bit repetitive (bad parents) the characters are strong and lovely. You forget the ugliness and dive into real humans behavior. In times of Duolingo the story seems a little old fashioned…

    One of the worst films of Kaurismäki. Only a repetition of what he did before.

    Shot with an iPhone 15. you don’t watch the Film because of the images but the great acting and the even better script. In the tradition of French  movies Kontinental 25 have intelligent warm hearted and funny characters which shows us the absurdity of our double standards
