Kaurismäki ~ Lynch
Have you noticed the parallels between Aki Kaurismäki and David Lynch? Both are auteurs par excellence, they script and direct their movies, both have a personal take on cinematic reality (to say the least), their dialogue is full of non sequiturs, they have a strong musical style (old rock for Kaurismäki, freak-ass jazz for Lynch), they both use character actors (eg. Outinen and MacLachlan), they’ve both made completely unwatchable films as well as huge commercial hits, both have a good critical reputation, are regarded to be unique, have won stuff at Cannes… I could go on and on.
And yes, I’m watching Blue Velvet at the moment. Don’t worry, I’m taping it as well, so I won’t miss anything because of short typing pauses.
