Finland’s master of deadpan comedy returns with the story of an unlikely friendship between a Syrian asylum seeker and an elderly Finnish restaurant owner. With hilarious sight gags, poker-faced one-liners and a toe-tapping rockabilly soundtrack, Kaurismäki’s latest film balances his unparalleled wit with a pressing critique of the unforgiving bureaucracy that greets vulnerable asylum seekers in modern-day Europe. Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director.
