La Vie de Bohème
Directed by Aki Kaurismäki
Produced by Sputnik, Pyramide Productions
A warm, playful portrait of bohemian friendship and artistic struggle in Paris, balancing comedy and melancholy with genuine affection for its characters.
Three penniless artists become friends in modern-day Paris: Rodolfo, an Albanian painter with no visa, Marcel, a playwright and magazine editor with no publisher, and Schaunard, a post-modernist composer of execrable noise.
