CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (1983)

AKI KAURISMAKI

Plot

An adaptation of Dostoyevsky's novel, updated to present-day Helsinki. Slaughterhouse worker Rahikainen murders a man, and is forced to live with the consequences of his actions. An adaptation of Dostoyevsky's novel, updated to present-day Helsinki, Crime And Punishment concerns itself less with if our protagonist will be punished but more what form the payment will take and why it must inevitably be made. A clever and understated reworking from the genius behind ‘Man Without A Past'.
