Finland released, PAL/Region 2 DVD:it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Finnish ( Mono ),Danish ( Subtitles ),English ( Subtitles ),Norwegian ( Subtitles ),Swedish ( Subtitles ),ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access,SYNOPSIS: Iris has a dead-end job in a match-factory, lives with her dour and forbidding parents, and her social life is a disaster. But when she is made pregnant after a one-night stand by a man who thought she was a prostitute, she decides that enough is enough and plans her revenge...-The Match Factory Girl is a Finnish/ Swedish coproduction. Kati Outinen plays the title character, trapped in a deadly dull job and an even deadlier duller home life. Against her family's wishes, she purchases a bright red dress and heads out for a night on the town. She spends the evening with a handsome wealthy man, who shows how significant this sexual pairing is by leaving her alone the next morning with a large sum of money. Not wishing to tell her parents of her misadventure, Outinen splits the money with her brother, then waits in vain for her "lover" to return. When she finds she is pregnant, she writes a syrupy note to her erstwhile swain, who coldly sends her a money order and instructs her to get an abortion. Even her family turns on her when her condition becomes obvious. With her remaining savings, Outinen purchases a generous supply of rat poison--not for herself, but for all the people who did her dirt throughout the film.
SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Berlin International Film Festival,

Customer Rating:
Summary: GREAT
Comment: 1990. Written and directed by Aki Kaurismäki. 4 Finnish Academy awards. The tragic story of Iris, a working-class girl looking for love. Superb.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Kaurismaki tell stories that nobody else tells
Comment: Minimalist tale of an alienated young proletarian with all the basic problems somebody can have in that situation: dysfunctional family, abuse and loneliness. The end seems like the only exit possible from the situation, and is a shame that is like this. Is not enchanting like "Moving Clouds" and doesn't have that kind of off-beat humor from "The Man from Nowhere"... Is slow, methodical and inflexible, but nevertheless we feel for the protagonist (the same blond girl from those two films). Not for a depressing Saturday night.
