"Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatiana is the Kaurismäki film most focused on the past, in this case the 1960s (...). Everything is very clearly dated to emphasize that this era is lost to the past." (S. Kyösola) "Aki Kaurismäki paints the picture of a dreadful and difficult world, where the smallest distraction is a wonder. (...) Not even music or alcohol are enough to fill its emptiness. But when someone rests their head on your shoulder or takes your hand, then everything is magical. It's these tiny gestures that offer warmth more than anything else, and seem so important and beautiful. Kaurismäki is disillusioned, perhaps even full of despair, but there is always a small place for love in his films. Here, this small space is immense. What was an absurd excursion becomes the most moving of love stories." (P. Piazzo)
