Aki Kaurismaki, Finland's prolific and award-winning writer-director, has asked the Finnish Film Institute to withdraw his latest movie from competition for the best foreign language film Oscar. The German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur said that Kaurismaki, whose The Man Without a Past was a finalist in the Oscar foreign competition in 2003, had informed Raija Nurio, president of the Finnish Film Institute, that he wished his latest film, Lights in the Dusk, to be withdrawn but gave no explanation. DPA said that Kaurismaki's action leaves Finland without an entry. The five nominees in the foreign-language competition are expected to be announced on Jan. 23.
