This box set from the Criterion Collection Eclipse series devotes itself to the Leningrad Cowboys series of works by the master of deadpan Finnish humor, Aki Kaurismaki.

The release of Eclipse Series 29: Aki Kaurismäki’s Leningrad Cowboys is at once a sensible addition as well as a refreshing change of pace for Criterion’s line of bare bones box sets. Aki Kaurismäki's winningly aloof farce follows the musicians as they bravely make their way across the New World, carrying a bandmate (and some beer) in a coffin and sporting hairdos that resemble unicorn horns.
