Man Without a Past: A Good Movie — 1 year ago
Man without a past is a great little movie from Finland. The Finnish language is really quite strange which is something I not thought about before. The basic plot centres around a man who gets off a train in and is attacked by a group of skinheads. He wakes in hospital some time later with no memory of who he is and what has happened.
He ends up living rough in a container lot by the sea and gets involved with a lot of colourful and strange characters. He finds it difficult to get work as he has no name or insurance number so end up working for the Salvation Army. He gets the SA band to start playing rock and roll and becomes the band manager.
There are all sorts of encounters and adventures before his past finally catches up with him.
This is a well crafted film with great performances all round. Well worth watching.
