Baunsu ko gaurusu (1997)
One of the best films of the year - perhaps the best.
Story about japanese high-school girls, who earn their extra pocket-money as call-girls. Movie is sad, funny, tragic, and very critical about the japanese society. Specially male-society. There is nothing too much or little in this perfect film.
Joulubileet (1996)
Best Finnish film of the decade
Story about bunch of loser criminals; Mike is released from jail and his friends decide to give him homecoming party. A Christmas party, to be exact, in the middle of the summer. But hey, things just ain't the same after you've been in prison for four years; Mike's girlfriend has married Mike's brother, and Mike's other robber buddies have drank all the profit they made off a bank job. And one of the guys has become a spreader of the great lord's Word... Lot of slapstick-comedy, irrational black humor and four ugly men in the sauna...
