电影简介:
在考里斯马基兄弟的电影里,冷峻的情节和摄影,对摇滚的准确把握,刻画了一个与外人猜想的福利天堂相比,更无情,也更真实和粗暴的芬兰。影片主人公考斯蒂南是一个值夜保安,虽然年纪轻轻却没有同龄人的朝气蓬勃,孤独像挥之不去的网,紧紧纠缠住考斯蒂南的内心与生活,他常常被周围人取笑,贫瘠的生活和对情感的渴望让他无力自拔。一次偶然,考斯蒂南邂逅了举止优雅的金发美女米尔雅,随着压抑已久的情感轰然爆发,考斯蒂南将米尔亚视作生命中的全部,甚至刚结识不久就提出求婚。单纯的考斯蒂南并不知晓,米尔雅其实是个情场老手,是个地地道道的骗子,经常和一群乌合... ...



Synopsis:
Lights in the Dusk (Finnish: Laitakaupungin valot) is a Finnish 2006 film directed and written by Aki Kaurismäki. It is the last installment in Kaurismäki's Finland trilogy. It features Janne Hyytiäinen, Ilkka Koivula and Maria Järvenhelmi. The film is about a security man who meets a femme fatale who sets him up using his gullibility and loyalty. The film was presented at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was chosen as Finland's nominee for the 79th Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. However, Kaurismäki decided to boycott the awards and refused the nomination as a protest against US President George W. Bush's foreign policy. Kaurismäki also boycotted the 2002 gala, when his previous film The Man Without a Past was nominated for an Oscar.


导演简介:
阿基·考里斯马基是芬兰影坛的重量级人物,是欧洲各大电影节的夺奖专业户。他在1990年的《火柴厂女工》、1992年的《波西米亚人生》和1999年的《爱是生死相许》在柏林国际电影节三次夺奖;当代芬兰三部曲的首部、1996年的《浮云往事》在戛纳电影节获普通评审团特别奖,2002年的《没有过去的男人》再获评审团大奖和普通评审团奖,2006年三部曲的完结篇《薄暮之光》继续入围戛纳,足以证明欧洲影坛对阿齐·考里斯马基的偏爱。他被称作“当代电影导演里的摇滚者”。他的所有电影都是同样的主题:边缘生命在社会中的被压迫和不平等;经常揶揄媒体甚至耍无赖,平时的导演方式更是独裁到极点,固定用一些有着很强个性能穿透屏幕的演员。



Director Biography:
Aki Kaurismäki started his career as a co-director in the films of his elder brother Mika Kaurismäki. His debut as an independent director was Crime and Punishment (1983), Dostoevsky's famous crime story set in modern-day Helsinki, Finland. He gained worldwide notice with his movie Leningrad Cowboys Go America. His style has been influenced by the French directors Jean-Pierre Melville and Robert Bresson, as he relies on low-key acting and simple cinematic storytelling to get his message(s) across. Much of his work is centred on Helsinki, his native city, particularly Calamari Union which is largely set in the working class neighbourhood of Kallio, and the trilogy that comprises Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl.
