Calamari Union

Aki Kaurismäki:
Calamari Union (Finland, 1985)
82 min. - Finnish - No English subtitles
age limit 11 years

The Rokumentti Sunday classic Calamari Union by Aki Kaurismäki needs no introduction. The journey of about fifteen Franks and one Pekka from Kallio to Eira is a part of Finnish film history, and to see it on silver screen is a part of a national cultural experience, just as reading The Unknown Soldier or singing Roadrunner in karaoke.

What would be a better way to soothe the sore soul in these apocalyptic times than to watch the legendary journey of Franks through the central cultural spots in Helsinki. The cast of the film are the stars of the Finnish music and culture scene, including Pate Mustajärvi, Matti Pellonpää, Pirkka-Pekka Petelius, Sakke Järvenpää, Sakari Kuosmanen, Hande Nurmio, Martti and Pantse Syrjä, and Dave Lindholm.

What better way to spend your Sunday!
