About
You can stream Ariel (1988) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
A Finnish man goes to the city to find a job after the mine where he worked is closed and his father commits suicide.
A quiet, melancholic stillness settles over this portrait of a man adrift in an unfamiliar urban landscape. It captures the hollow ache of displacement through intimate, observational moments that feel both deeply personal and strikingly universal.
