        Overview

        Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, Drifting Clouds is classic Kaurismaki, mixing together bleak humour with brilliantly straight performances, the film captures the harshness of a recession with a real bite, however is never quite as cynical as it makes out. Hilarious and surprisingly hopeful, Drifting Clouds is Kaurismaki at his best.
