Lead actors Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen discuss their work in Fallen Leaves in a Q&A moderated by The Wrap's Tomris Laffly. Get tickets: www.filmlinc.o...
Sweet-souled in story, scalpel-sharp in filmmaking precision, this enchanting love story from Finnish virtuoso Aki Kaurismäki circles around two financially strapped Helsinkians who keep finding and losing one another in a world that seems to be falling apart. Evoking dark-comic romances from his early career such as Shadows in Paradise and Ariel (NYFF27), the sardonic yet exquisitely melancholic Fallen Leaves devotes its wry, humane gaze to grocery clerk Ansa (Alma Pöysti) and construction laborer Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), who commence an on-again, off-again relationship of extreme tentativeness, while seeking employment and stability. As with the greatest of Kaurismäki’s films, everyday details register as grand, meaningful cinematic gestures. This filmmaker has scrupulously carved another fictive universe out of a handful of specific, vivid locations, yet Fallen Leaves very much takes place in the world we’re living in, which makes its surrender to hope all the more affecting. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards. A MUBI release.

Magic master - and Jussi&Alma fit perfectly for the roles of this film. Every picture is an artpiece of colors and settings including the details. You need no words to make a great movie (Chaplin is one of his inspiration source). And those selected do nail the issue. Faces are important and the whole world of his. Liken also the rough rope for the dog ; )

A Finnish person here. I saw Kaurismäki's Drifting Clouds in Ireland, I think I was the only one in the audience who laughed. After the movie, I was asked if Finns really are like the ones in the movie :) Since then, I've been hoping that Kaurismäki would bring something new to the table besides the socially awkward Finns. Kind of old joke I think.

The "cultural" element made us non Finns sometimes be hesitant if we should laugh or cry... the lack of emotions shown externally living in a Mediterranean country... but the film was beautiful. Loved it.
