We conclude our quotes from famous Scandanavians this month, with a quip from the great Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki. He is featured in the current issue of "Film Comment," where he discusses his latest film "Le Havre," which happens to be in French!
Aki's most acclaimed film to date in American film circles has been "The Man Without a Past" (2002).
Here is his quote:
"Cinema is dead. It died in 1962. I think it was October."
For the record, he was five years old in 1962.
