Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki makes a masterful return with Fallen Leaves, a timeless, hopeful and ultimately satisfying love story about two lonely souls’ path to happiness – and the numerous hurdles they encounter along the way. Set in contemporary Helsinki, and shot through with Kaurismäki’s typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan humor, this tender romantic tragicomedy is a timely reminder of the potency of moviegoing from one of cinema’s living legends. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
