Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatenen play the introverted leads who don't talk to each other much, but each has a confidante so we know what they're thinking. Aki Kaurismäki directs from his original script.
No composer is credited. The songs range from karaoke (they meet at a karaoke bar) to classical to pop to traditional and more. In one scene they go to a theatre and watch the zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die.
Cinematographer Timo Salminen provides the photography ranging from drab to lush.
Kaurismäki was last blogged for Le Havre and the others are new to me.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics are falling for this (as I did) with a 97% average, but its audiences (like Maija) are not, at 58. I rented it on Apple TV/iTunes on February 16.
