The Match Factory Girl (1990)


A drama by Aki Kaurismaki.
A woman with a boring life buys a new dress and has a one night stand with a man. The man refuses to stay with her and when she finds that she is pregnant, the man tells her to get rid of the child. Her parents kick her out of their home and she is left to live with her brother. She then decides to get revenge.
The plot sounds SO COOL!!! Unfortunately, the film is not. I expected it to be strange and the guy looking a little like Varg Vikernes (of Burzum infame (as in infamy)) didn't surprise me. It was just so dull and lifeless. I wanted to see what happened to the people she takes revenge on, but it was not shown. I'm rating this o.k., but it should have been a whole hell of a lot better.
