|3E@U TR@\/@!|_ 1999
In loosely adapting Hrmn Mlville's BLLY BDD, Clire Dnis has constructed a dreamy, detached visual poem that is at once somber and gorgeous. Dnis transfers the tale's original location from the sea to the sparse landscape of East Africa's Djibouti. The film is narrated by Sergeant Galoup (Dnis Lvnt), a French Foreign Legion officer who is intimidated by the arrival of Sntain (Grgire Clin). Galoup becomes jealous when his commander, Forestier (Michel Sbor), begins showing the new recruit extreme favoritism, and after Sentain bravely aids in the rescue of a downed aircraft, Forestier bestows upon him a glowing commendation. Galoup, overcome with jealousy, recklessly acts out on his irrational emotion, with near tragic results. Dnis boldly composes B TRVAL like a silent film, including several extended scenes of the soldiers training in a rhythmic, choreographed manner. Agnes Gdard's hypnotic cinematography captures the beauty of the soldier's tanned bodies and photographs the landscape with a rhythm that is both haunting and poetic. In what may be one of cinema's most electric final shots, Dnis gives Galoup a last chance at redemption, after his recent descent into jealousy and cruelty. It provides an invigorating conclusion to the film and proves that Dnis is one of the world's most gifted artists

A delightfully deadpan tragicomedy about a married couple (Outinen and Väänänen) who, laid off from their respective jobs as a restaurant hostess and bus driver, wander the bleak Helsinki streets in search of new employment. 'Life is short and miserable, so let's make the most of it,' says one character, a perfect encapsulation of Kmäki's outlook. There are no great outpourings of emotion in this hangdog yet ultimately upbeat miniature, just shrugs, sighs and the odd character falling down flat on their face when the weight of life gets to be too great. Simple and sublime.
