But in his search, he finds her thoroughbred Ostrobothnian brother Martti (Martti Syrjä of Eppu Normaali) instead.

When the two set off on a tour around southern Finland together, we get to the heart of this road movie: the landscape of the soul that unfolds along the way. And there starts the road movie.

This film is very Kaurismäki, which means it's both full of black comedy and an odd look at Italian and Finnish everyday life.

He runs into her brother Martti and, although they don't speak each other's languages, they go to search for her together.

    Sicilian hit-man to finish off lost Finnish love

    He runs into her brother Martti and, although they don't speak each other's languages, they go to search for her ... He arrives in Helsinki, buys weapons, and invades her apartment, but it's deserted. Strange as they might be, they are quite normal people. In the end he finds neither, and as a result the film is little more than a low-key (if often engaging) shaggy dog story, drawing from both European and American role models, but shaded with a lackadaisical midnight sun mentality.

    Rosso

    Excepting maybe Renny Harlin and Dome Karukoski, Mika Kaurismäki is Finland’s most international film director.

    His new target is Maria, who'm he have had an affair with a long time ago. Rosso arrives in Helsinki, buys weapons, and finds her apartment empty, except of her brother Martti. the film is full of Sicilian orchestral music, as suited any mob movie, and it makes us really wonder how wonderful this both suits the Finnish landscape, and what we sees as Finnish.

    Difficult not to like this film, which clocks in on a likable 76 minutes.

    adrift in Finland

    The best way to approach this disarming Finnish import is to imagine a mock existential road movie, set in and around Helsinki, where a burned-out Sicilian gunman is given orders to redeem himself by killing a woman who was once his lover.

    Of course nothing proceeds as expected, for either the reluctant assassin or for unsuspecting viewers. At the outset, horns sound under the Mediterranean sun, and Timo Salminen’s impressive camerawork reveals the slouching figure of the titular character: mafia man Giancarlo ”Siankarlo” Rosso (Kari Väänänen).

    Rosso is sent to Finland, tasked with tracking down his former lover Marja (Leena Harjupatana in her only film role).

    Even his first feature-length film The Worthless ultimately leads to Paris, and the second, Rosso, begins in Sicily.

    Mika Kaurismäki has stated that he made Rosso in order to learn Italian. Different as they might be, the hit man and Maria'æs brother, they find each other in a bottle of vodka.

    Kaursmäki style the film is not flashy, but slow going noir inspired, held in a bleak Finnish autumn.

    Not a bad reason per se, but fortunately the project has proved rewarding for viewers, too, who have gotten more out of the film than from many other domestically shot productions.

    However, the film’s journey ultimately takes a turn toward Finnish turf after all, with only a detour through Sicily along the way. At the film’s high point, the Italian crook and the cantankerous Finn find common ground through a boozy, bilingual duet of the same schlager tune.

    .

    Against his better judgment, the hapless killer joins forces with his intended target's irrepressible brother, and despite the language barrier between them begins an aimless quest the length and breadth of Scandinavia, at first for the elusive, beautiful Marja, but finally for any way out of his spiritual crisis.
