Two Irregular Fairy-Tales

Summary/Abstract: The genre of fairy-tales is seldom to be found nowadays in “normal” films, yet suddenly they appeared here and there, displaying new latent reserves. Both films we paid attention to excelled in a sense of wonderful humor, “fluidity” in its original meaning, renewing not only the serious message, but obviously the tone and spirit as well. Gus Van Sant shaped Restless in the mood of a tender, lyrical light-grievous comedy, – Aki Kaurismäki, in his Le Havre, turned to the sarcastic kind of parody, accenting precisely through the unexpected application, the real weight of his vision.
