No, Kaurismaki would never do that. He's a man of traditional romantic love, none of those postmodern perversion
Gonna see the new film at Berlin film festival, you?

>their execution in each film is nearly uniform

This I enjoy. Rather have a steady style than sell your ass for the different producers like Ridley Scott.
Every good directors has a steady handmark and a few adjectives to describe their whole filmography: Ozu, Bergman, Fellini etc.

As Ebert said of Kaurismäki: 'Once you've seen one of his films, you've seen them all. But you have to see them all.'

Yeah, it's a comedy, but more importantly a Kaurismäki film. If you don't know him, I'd highly suggest checking him out
He's one of the important nordic directors, among Andersson, Von Trier, Dreyer and Bergman but he has a style very much unique, nothing in his films is very serious (maybe except for the Match Factory Girl and Lights in the Dusk) and they have immense artistic and comical values.
Imagine a humorous Robert Bresson who drinks and chainsmokes if it helps to figure him out
