Favourite Scenes?

When the Liberation Army guys bully Khaled at the bus stop and throw the bottle at his window and he doesn't even look, just has the most dead expression.

When Khaled wants to rush to find his sister and Wikström wants him to think before he acts and says "You might be wiser but I'm older" (think this was a joke but I don't fully get it)

When Khaled is about to become a Hot Dog and gets saved by the homeless guys.

Watching Wikström and his staff make sushi and putting just a shit ton of wasabi on it.

There is a saying "older but wiser" or in finnish "vanhempi, mutta viisaampi". So you are right it is a very Kaurismäki-esque joke.

The sushi scene was great and I loved the bit with poker.
