Il commento Una commedia nerissima e gelidissima nello stile di Kaurismaki, con due piccoli cuori proletari che si incontrano e sfuggono alla morte. Splendida la Londra dei bassifondi, adorabile la gag di “Honolulu Bar” rivista poi in “Foglie al vento”, buffo il cameo di Jo Strummer.
Il riassunto
Peppino, a diminutive taxidermist with a reputation for sleaziness, meets Valerio, a handsome if artless much younger man fascinated by the trade. Peppino offers him a large salary to come work as his assistant, with the job burgeoning into a budding friendship he mistakes for something more. When Valerio finds a girlfriend, their fledgling romance will be threatened by an insanely jealous third wheel.
