Did You Know?
| Trivia | Aki Kaurismäki's narrative directorial debut. He chose this project after reading François Truffaut's interview with Alfred Hitchcock, where Hitchcock claimed Crime and Punishment was the one book he would never adapt, because "it would be too difficult." Kaurismäki later admitted it was too difficult. See more » |

Antti Rahikainen:
[to Eeva Laakso]
