In Man Without a Past, the second installment in Kaurismäki's "Finland Trilogy," the film’s protagonist, Markku Peltola known only as “M,” loses his memory and starts his life anew by converting a shipping container into a home. “Like the great films of the 1930's and early 40's, ‘Man Without a Past’ is at once artful and unpretentious, sophisticated and completely accessible, sure of its own authority and generous toward characters and audience alike—a movie whose intended public is the human race” ---- A.O. Scott, New York Times.
