I saw this film at the Ritzy in Brixton 20 odd years ago and it's still breathtakingly brilliant and my favourite Kaurismaki of all time, followed closely by "I Hired A Contract Killer" and "Take Care of Your Scarf Tatjana" which stars a Mark Kermode lookalike as a coffee-addicted sewing machinist. What do you mean, you don't believe me?
It takes about 10 min until the first words are spoken.Until this point it´s looks like a Education Film.I know how the Film Ending but don´t tell it.You must see the whole Film to understand it.the whole Film is only about 70 min long.
@slinkylady01 Why not warn people that you are telling how the film ends? Please write "Spoiler Alert" before telling us something important about movies. Thank you.

That is an interesting first sequence showing the machinery making the matches.
The match factory girl on the production line reminded me of Charlie Chaplin in "Modern Times".

Good movie, but it is very depressing. It does not have the classical happy ending like most films.
