The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Laitakaupungin valot (Lights in the Dusk) starting at 8 p.m. Sometimes the Eastman Calendar just has the most succinct descriptions: "the latest from Finland's most accomplished filmmaker is a noir-ish story of a lonely security guard who ignores the affections of a lunchwagon lady, only to be led down a dark path by a femme fatale. Kaurismäki's inimitable deadpan style reveals unexpected comic possibilities in such feelings as loneliness and despair".
