Aki
Kaurismaki
is
a
remarkable,
complex
auteur
too
often
overlooked
in
Anglophone
scholarship,
and
this
vibrant
new
collection
of
essays
seeks
to
redress
that
misfortune
as
well
as
fill
in
the
gaps
of
extant
work
on
the
Finnish
master.
The
book
breaks
new
ground
by
closely
connecting
Kaurismaki's
aesthetics-his
distinctive
mise-en-scène,
cinematography,
editing,
and
sound
design
(particularly
with
music)-to
the
much
discussed,
left-wing
populist
political
messaging
in
his
films.
The
editor,
Thomas
Austin,
has
curated
a
group
of
essays
that
dialogue
with
one
another
in
refreshing
ways
while
each
scholar
builds
a
unique
and
cogent
position,
illuminating
diverse
aspects
of
Kaurismaki's
oeuvre;
from
his
use
of
Brechtian
distanciation,
irony,
and
anachronism,
to
his
ambivalent
treatment
of
global
capitalism
and
even
the
working
classes
he
celebrates.
This is a notable collection on the cinema of Aki Kaurismäki, one of the most under-researched authors in European Cinema. It would be easy to label Kaurismäki's self-conscious and unique style, often associated with the New Sincerity movement that marks a departure from postmodernism, as predictable, but the contributors in this volume manage to avoid such aesthetic fallacy. By contrast, not only do the essays in the collection have a keen eye for the audiovisual specificity and diversity in Kaurismäki's films, they also reflect critically on the social and political implications of his aesthetic choices. This makes the volume much more than just a study of an auteur director insofar as its essays compel us to rethink the categories of style and politically engaged filmmaking.
