This black and white road movie by Aki Kaurismaki (about an hour long) is about two loser guys from Finland traveling by road through Finland with two women (a Russian and an Estonian, don't these two people hate each other?). The results are very uneven. Filmed in the early 90s, it is among Kaurismaki's weakest work, showing a lot of his peculiar obsessions (vintage cars, rock music, cigarettes, smoky bars) but without much of any payoff for the viewer. Nothing much happens and nothing seems to matter much. However, it's good to see two of Kaurismaki's regulars: the late great Matti Pellonpaa as well as a younger Kati Outinen.
