Three penniless artists become friends in modern-day Paris: Rodolfo, an Albanian painter with no visa, Marcel, a playwright and magazine editor with no publisher, and Schaunard, a post-modernist composer of execrable noise. This minimalist deadpan tragicomedy about three starving artists is one of Kaurismäki’s best films.
