Almost all of Aki Kaurismaki's films are exactly the same, with like two films that serve as major deviations. In fact, a lot of them feel like remakes of each other. But the good thing is, if you like once, you like em all. Really, Ariel is probably the best, though I think Lights in the Dusk deserves special mention. They all kinda blend together in my mind, honestly. All shot the same, edited the same, paced the same, lit the same, filmed the same, the same actors sometimes; othertimes, the same characters. It's odd, it's like his a lot of his films serve as weird parallel versions of each other.
Also, more smoking in his films than any I can think of.
