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.
