Fallen Leaves (2023) | Trailer | Aki Kaurismäki Alma Pöysti | Jussi Vatanen

FALLEN LEAVES tells the story of two lonely people (Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen) who meet each other by chance in the Helsinki night and try to find the first, only, and ultimate love of their lives. Their path towards this honourable goal is clouded by the man’s alcoholism, lost phone numbers, not knowing each other’s names or addresses, and life’s general tendency to place obstacles in the way of those seeking their happiness.

This gentle tragicomedy, previously thought to be lost, is the fourth part of Aki Kaurismäki’s working-class trilogy (Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl).

There so much sadness and still the willingness to love and be loved. Beautiful movie ❤

[valeriamedina]

i went to watch it with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised to find out how funny and clever the film is. Great film.

I saw it yesterday at the cinema here in Rio de Janeiro and I really liked it, a very beautiful film.

[paratize]

Yep, definitely looks like an Aki film!

[samspencer]

Great movie! I saw it in the cinema in Sweden. I had a big smile on my face the whole time. I love Kaurismäkis movies!

[jannealatalo]

Art! Looks like every shot is really well thought - lights and colors.

Movie of the year, no doubt. Best Kaurismäki film ever.

[kelvynification]

If you had no idea who made the film you would still know after a few moments it’s an Aki:) There are only a handful of directors can say that. Can’t wait to see it, it’s been too long.

Me and Claire just saw it at an independent cinema (she'd actually seen it before) and were certainly pleased, it keeps an underlying level of droll humor, in the face of depressing and conflicting sensibilities or circumstances

Today we watched it at the cinema in Poland :) Thank you Aki :) Perfect movie for Valentine's Day :)

[davidbarnes]

Another utterly gorgeous film from the Master of wry humor, pathos and compassion for humans flailing around to find connection in a world that seems set up to alienate people from each other.

Can’t wait to see this. I love this guy’s movies

The California Pub on Finland's dreariest greyest block had me falling off my seat laughing.

Maustetytöt kyllä sopii täydellisesti Kaurismäen elokuvaan.
