Plot

Three artists in Paris.

Sinekatalog’s take

Aki Kaurismäki's black-and-white take on Murger's Bohemians follows three penniless artists in Paris. Dry, droll and tender, with André Wilms and Matti Pellonpää, it is a charming comedy about art and poverty.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
