The Films of Aki Kaurismki

Despite creating an extensive and innovative body of work over the last 30 years, Aki Kaurismki remains relatively neglected in Anglophone scholarship. This international collection of original essays aims to redress such neglect by assembling diverse critical inquiries into Kaurismkis oeuvre. The first anthology on Kaurismki to be published in English, it offers a range of voices responding to his politically and aesthetically compelling cinema. Deploying various methodologies to explore multiple facets of his work, The Films of Aki Kaurismki will come to be seen as the definitive book on Kaurismki.
