... 'Course it was a film by the Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki, which means lots of dour Finns drinking excessively in badly over-lit seedy bars.
Mostly improvised (a deliberate hommage to John Cassavetes), this story of three middle-aged friends coping with death, birth, infidelity and their own frustrations in life starts bleak but manages to end on a hopeful note that feels true to the rest of the narrative.
I don't believe this has a commercial release at this time, but Kaurismaki has a well-established track record and a DVD release in North America would be likely.
