La Vie de Bohème

1992 · 103 min

Deadpan, tender and quietly sad, it drifts through poverty and friendship with dry wit and a heavy heart.

Directed by
Aki Kaurismäki
Genres
Drama, Romance
Overview
Three penniless artists become friends in modern-day Paris: Rodolfo, an Albanian painter with no visa, Marcel, a playwright and magazine editor with no publisher, and Schaunard, a post-modernist composer of execrable noise.
How it feels
Melancholic, warm, cynical and absurd. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About
Friendship, art, isolation, love
Content
