However, despite their tragedies and setbacks, the characters don't give up and eventually survive. Much of Kaurismäki's work is centred on Helsinki, such as the film "Calamari Union", the Proletariat trilogy ("Shadows in Paradise", "Ariel" and "The Match Factory Girl") and the Finland trilogy ("Drifting Clouds", "The Man Without a Past" and "Lights in the Dusk"). His vision of Helsinki is critical and singularly unromantic. Indeed, his characters often speak about how they wish to get away from Helsinki. Some end up in Mexico ("Ariel"), others in Estonia ("Shadows in Paradise", "Calamari Union", and "Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatjana"). Kaurismäki also uses, on purpose, characters, elements and settings that hark back to the 1960s and 1970s. Kaurismäki has been influenced by the French directors Jean-Pierre Melville, Jacques Becker, and Robert Bresson, the Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu, the American director John Cassavetes, and some critics have also inferred the influence of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. His movies have a humorous side that can also be seen in the films of Jim Jarmusch, who has a cameo in Kaurismäki's film "Leningrad Cowboys Go America". Jarmusch used actors who have appeared frequently in Kaurismäki's films in his own film "Night on Earth", part of which takes place in Helsinki. Kaurismäki has been a vocal critic of digital cinematography, calling it "a devil's invention" and saying he "won't make a digital film in this life". In March 2014, however, he reconciled, saying that "in order to maintain my humble film oeuvre accessible to a potential audience, I have ended up in rendering it to digital in all its present and several of its as yet unknown forms." In Helsinki, Kaurismäki is the co-owner of a complex, Andorra, that incorporates a cinema, several bars and a pool hall featuring a giant poster for Robert Bresson’s "L’Argent." It also features the jukebox from "Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses." Kaurismäki's film "Ariel" (1988) was entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Prix FIPRESCI. Kaurismäki's most acclaimed film has been "The Man Without a Past", which won the Grand Prix and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category in 2003.
