Crime and Punishment (1983 film)

Crime and Punishment (Finnish: Rikos ja rangaistus) is a 1983 film directed by Aki Kaurismäki.

A woman from a catering service who has arrived to set up a party is the only witness—she elects not to call the police but tells him to leave.

As the police hunt him, Rahikainen skips work and begins to wander Helsinki, seeing an article about the murder in the newspaper.

Rahikainen and Eeva meet up on a ferry at night, where he tells her he killed Honkanen because he "found him disgusting" and "wanted to show that things are less simple than people think".

Police Inspector Pennanen continues to suspect Rahikainen for the crime, but another man confesses and is charged, allowing him to get off.
