Kaurismäki's Cannes grant has a harsh taste, however it's as yet worth celebrating

The film Dead Leaves by Aki Kaurismäki and his group was granted on Saturday at the Cannes Film Celebration. Film writer Veli-Pekka Lehtonen assesses the honor and its importance.

In the year In 1981, the narrative was finished The Saimaa phenomenonwhich is viewed as Aki Kaurismäki as the initial shot of movies. The film that portrayed the artists' wet visit turned into its own peculiarity, and from that point forward Kaurismäki's movies have been pretty much notable in Finnish social life.

The Saimaa peculiarity narrative is viewed as the beginning stage of Kaurismäki's movie profession. In the narrative, Juice Leskinen Hammer, Hassisen's machine and Eppu Normaali travel around summer Saimaa on the steamship S/S Heinävedi. Envisioned is Juice Leskinen.

Simultaneously, the universe of Kaurismäkela has additionally become known for its bars, sorts of individuals and entertaining stories safeguarding the little individual.

Aki Kaurismäki's public persona has likewise gotten comfortable - chatty, nasty and politically obstinate. At the point when the US is in the line of fire, when the Grozny destroyers, when the warrior jets.

Kaurismäki is otherwise called a fruitful craftsman and finance manager who, in spite of his situation, positions himself against the foundation, as an opponent of the contrary side.

On Saturday42 years The Saimaa peculiarity after graduation, Kaurismäki won by coordinating and prearranging Dead leaves - film won the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Celebration.

The accomplishment is obviously the most brilliant. Comparable acknowledgments can be depended on the fingers of one hand in Finnish film.

Prix du jury implies third put on the Cannes grant scale. Bronze doesn't eliminate the worth of the acknowledgment.

It's very extraordinary to win any honor in an occasion called the Olympics of film, which the best take a stab at and hardly any consistently even get to. Entryways open for Kaurismäki in light of the fact that he is realized in film circles from Los Angeles to Tokyo.

Still the prize has a severe taste.

Kaurismäki is currently 66 years of age, and as a producer he had proactively gotten global honors before. He has been named for an Oscar, he has been granted as the best chief in Berlin and from Cannes he as of now has the supposed second award for the film Man without a past.

Markku Peltola played the lead job in the film A Man Without a Past, which won the Excellent Prix at Cannes in 2002.

It ought not be failed to remember that in 2016 he was likewise granted an exceptional Carrosse d'or chief's honor at Cannes, whose different victors incorporate such names as Jane Campion, Clint Eastwood, Werner Herzog and Martin Scorsese. So we're in a quite extreme gathering.

One Notwithstanding, Kaurismäki has been feeling the loss of: a major success.

Like Cannes' principal grant, the Palme d'Or, or the American Oscar.

A major success might in any case change and fundamentally raise Kaurismäki's situation in the film field: it would bring more crowds, film industry incomes, and consideration.

So is there any good reason why Kaurismäki wouldn't hold back nothing of benefit when he is making his movies aggressively currently in his fifth 10 years?

The craftsman's obviously, it suits the picture not to request decorations, and demolishing awards isn't essential for Kaurismäki's image specifically. It is additionally in accordance with the way that Kaurismäki has recently would avoid the Oscar contest once, and he has likewise surrendered the title of academician.

Obviously, we likewise realize that the opposition doesn't fit craftsmanship on a basic level. There is no measuring stick by which one can assess a film's way of thinking as better compared to another. Rivalries are held, in any case, for some reasons, not the least of which is that movies and producers pine for our consideration. Contests are additionally coordinated for absolutely business reasons: to inspire us to purchase confirmation tickets!

So Kaurismäki was, presently for the fifth time, engaged with the Cannes hustling series, which is seen everywhere. So he has explicitly needed to rival different movie producers with his movies. See's who, be on similar stage with other top names.

So the opposition and the exposure that follows it matter, obviously it does.

I talked with just after Saturday's honors celebration Dead leaves filled in as a maker Misha Jaaria.

Jaari is an accomplished maker who was extremely cheerful about the honor. Simultaneously, in any case, he appraises that the Prix du jury wouldn't be "appallingly significant" for Kaurismäki.

What's the significance here?

The way that Kaurismäki as of now has a position and that an honor like the Prix du jury won't change that. It can likewise be figured out a deeper meaning that main a major win would have been progressive.

Many expected that as well. It was longed for. That Kaurismäki would have carried the Brilliant Palm to Finland.

Nobody in Finland has at any point won a film grant of that level.

This didn't occur this time, and we can figure the reasons. The best clarification is parody: the jury picked two movies in front of Kaurismäki, which are intense shows at their center, with no place for giggling.

How about we get back still until 1981 and The Saimaa phenomenonto the film. An industry distribution called Kinolehti expounded on the film after the debut and positioned it among homegrown film industry magnets.

Shockingly, this incense was not loved by the creators. In the following issue, a "remedy" was distributed in the magazine, which, in light of the composing style, was from the sharp pen of the youthful Aki Kaurismäki.

The creators remedied the money magnet guarantee in the text, expressing that The Saimaa peculiarity has a place "really to the class of 'modestly or pitifully fruitful movies, however which have acquired fame among their makers'." for the sake of reality, we need to say that we could never have been miserable, regardless of whether the data in Kinolehti had been valid."

The article finished with the assertion:

"Nonetheless, some of the time life sells out our fantasies. In that regard, it is unjustifiable and savage."

This time, life let dreams down in Cannes. The Prix du Jury is as yet worth celebrating.
