Viewpoints on Aki Kaurismäki's Films

Orimattila Town Library has published ten essays, written by film scholars, journalists, and film enthusiasts, that offer different approaches to Aki Kaurismäki's films; the subjects of the essays range from interpreting a single film to discussing his entire career.

Aki Kaurismäki's way of using music in his films has also been covered. We will even see a glimpse of a leather jacket with the logo "Orimattilan Jymy," a sports club in Orimattila, in the essays. Our latest additions are articles written by Tim Vermeulen (May 2007), Gabri Ródenas (August 2007) and Adrian Martin (March 2009).

We intend to publish more articles on the website and welcome you to submit your articles on Aki Kaurismäki to us.
