Trivia
The Finnish rock band Juice Leskinen Slam performed their song "Mies joka rakastaa itseään" in almost in its entirety in the film. The initial long take was achieved with a Jonathon Jib arm mounted on a slightly modified Elemack Spyder Dolly (both then owned by Suomi-Filmi). Director Mika Kaurismäki and Juice Leskinen didn't really know each other before the film, but eventually formed a lifelong friendship. Leskinen also originally suggested Saimaa-ilmiö (1981) to Kaurismäki.

Citas
Ville Alfa: I would claim that the promised land for modern existentialism is finland.

Very French

Valehtelija (1981)

Valehtelija is an enjoyable pastiche of Breathless and other French New Wave films in which Aki Kaurismaki plays Ville Alfa, a young man with exceptional lying skills and a way with words. He treats people - his girlfriend and family members - badly and is extremely selfish. I found him both funny and sad.

Thanks to the clever writing and direction, the movie is quite successful in making Helsinki feel like Paris of the 60s. Ville Alfa's friends are intellectuals who are talking about literature and just hanging out, taking it easy. They bring some nice humor to their scenes.
