"Dryly humorous, collection of tales about a poor Italian family and simple things in life. The book was recommended to me by an inspirational tutor at university and this collection, more than any, motivated me to try to write short screenplays."

Iconic war film. (3 more)
Visually poetic, darkly humorous, uncompromisingly brutal!
It's very graphic, but enjoyable.
Never a dull moment in this movie.
Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket may not boast the most original of themes, but it is incredibly effective at communicating them.

"Comedy boils the global stew down to our common humanity, making difference attractive rather than frightening. I like that Kaurismäki can engage with heavy contemporary problems in a gently humorous way. And he has always managed to show working class characters as full individuals."

This movie is visually stunning with its atmosphere, costumes, and casting. It also delivers a humorous take on very tense situations.
