Lights in the Dusk (2006) serves as the concluding chapter of a trilogy that commenced with "Drifting Clouds" and "The Man Without a Past." While the first film tackled unemployment and the second delved into homelessness, this final entry explores the theme of isolation. The story revolves around Koistinen, a timid night-watchman who is largely shunned by his colleagues and resides alone in a simple apartment. His life takes a turn when he encounters Mirja, a blonde woman who seems to be captivated by his somewhat old-fashioned and gentlemanly demeanor. However, Koistinen's sense of honor is increasingly out of place in a world dominated by the pursuit of social status, political influence, and material wealth. Kaurismäki’s poignant and understated cautionary tale follows the unassuming protagonist as he spirals into an unexpected nightmare of betrayal and violence, masterfully blending compassion with a dry, dark humor.
