Reception
An absurdist comedy, the film is considered to be satirical cult classic. Caryn James of The New York Times described the film as "gleefully absurdist", adding that Kaurismäki "takes over the American gangster film and flavors it with his improbable humor". Others have drawn connections between The Saimaa Gesture and Calamari Union and the Finnish punk movement.
