11 Precious Minutes with Aki Kaurismäki (2012)

Interview with Aki Kaurismäki at Thessaloniki on the occasion of a retrospective organized by the 53rd TIFF to talk about capitalism (or Das Kapital, as he likes to call it), the clichés that are part and parcel of his reputation, the fear of dying and how unbearable life would be without humor. The only thing he didn’t really mention was cinema, but when you live and breathe film, there’s no point in talking about it.

So much respect for this man and his creations and his views on the world, very much aligned with my own. One of my favourite directors of all time. All of his characters feel so human.

Thanks for this interview - always nice to hear Aki speak. The audio cut out at certain parts of the video which was a shame.

Takve filmove bi mogla napraviti i moja ćerka od 8 GODINA, ali ja zapravo nemam djece, pa onda ovaj jadnik valjda mora tako da radi, žalosno je što ga svijet priznaje za veličinu, žalosno
