Made available in HD for the first time in the UK by Curzon.
Freely adapted from Henri Murger's 1851 novel, this is Kaurismäki's highly individual take on the story of three bohemian artists - a poet, a painter and a composer - set in a timeless Paris.
Shifting between heartbreaking drama and black humour, the fine cast features cameos from Jean-Pierre Léaud, Sam Fuller and Louis Malle.
