The Match Factory Girl (1990)

Welcome to the world of Aki Kaurismäki: deadpan humor, sixties rock and minimalist production design set against the Finnish backdrop of Helsinki. This collect of short tragicomedies, known as the Proletariat Trilogy, offers up a hefty dose of humanity in all its absurdity. An eccentric and unique filmmaker, he has an unmistakable style that is internationally recognized. His influence is evident throughout the films of Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson.

In "The Match Factory Girl (1990)", a woman's terribly dull life is upended by a one-night stand pregnancy, causing her to seek retribution.
