Aki Kaurismäki: resonancias de un humanista silente en La Chica de la Fábrica de Cerillas (1990)

Abstract

The Match Factory Girl allows us to focus on some of the characteristics that are specific to the Finish film maker Aki Kaurismäki. The use of silence as a means of dialogue between the audience and the image. The use of framing to emphasis the narration or the presence of ellipses to give greater depth and symbolism to each shot. These are some of the details that stay with the viewer and at the same time allow us to see up close the originality of our author.
