Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki 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 Kaurismakis typically playful, idiosyncratic style, and deadpan humour, this tender romantic tragicomedy is a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinemas living legends. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
