Movie Review: The Man Without A Past
"The Man Without A Past" by Aki Kaurismäki
Okay, subtitles and foriegn films may not be everyone's cup of tea. But for those who want to understand the homeless and some of the issues they deal with, this movie is essential.
It is played for the deadest of deadpan humor, but it is brilliantly conceived, and it communicates the sense of a homeless community, both those on the street struggling for survival, and those who assist them.
It doesn't flinch from difficult realities, such as gang attacks, the difficulties of not having id and divorce. Yet it is punctuated by moments of humor when one least expects it.
Highly recommended. The humor gets 3 stars out of 5. The depiction of a homeless community gets 5 stars out of 5.
