Master filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki returns with his latest deadpan gem Fallen Leaves, a luminous ode to romance and moviegoing. In modern-day Helsinki, two lonely souls in search of love meet by chance in a local karaoke bar. However, the pair’s path to happiness is beset by numerous obstacles - from lost numbers to mistaken addresses, alcoholism, and a charming stray dog. (MUBI)

Frissítően komikus nézet Finnországból, egy klasszikustól, aki még mindig semmit nem veszített el az elbeszélői érzékéből. Ellenkezőleg, a feminizmus korszaka a finn "keményfiúkról" szóló, újabb találó történettel szolgált számára. Abszurd párbeszédek száraz poénok gazdag kadenciájával, klasszikus retró stílus (külső helyszínek, jelmezek), jelenlegi ukrajnai háborúról szóló rádiós hírekkel kiegészítve. És moziplakátokkal, mert Aki imádja a filmeket. Egy mesés mozis üdvözlet Jarmusch filmes kistestvér számára. A rövid játékidő igazán ritka a kortárs filmek között, és csak újabb bizonyítéka annak, hogy Kaurismäki mennyire egyedi. [Karlovy Vary-i NFF]

Few filmmakers believe so much in the good of humanity and the power of film to make the world a better place. Few alcoholics have such consistency and detached humor. There is only one king of deadpan. Aki again occupies his unique position as a sentimental bastard and serves up the beautiful best of his tried-and-true moments. Around the fifth minute, I burst into tears of emotion and I never lost the feeling of being at home, in a place where the world can be tolerated despite its cruelty. I don’t know about you, by Fallen Leaves somewhat reminded me of Diary of a Country Priest, or maybe Godard. I’m going to go have my sixth second beer. Kiitos, Aki!

Aki Kaurismäki's refreshingly long film follows the worries and joys of Finnish misfits who have little to be happy about in their misery and hardship. Understated, tender, warm, funny and paying tribute to the love of cinema – it was the perfect first screening of this year's edition of the festival. A small film with a big heart. [KVIFF 2023]

A charmingly minimalist romance between a melancholic labourer with an excessive fondness for alcohol and a shy, introverted shop assistant. This sombre old-world tragicomedy about the painful coming together of two desperate souls excels thanks to its flawless directing, Kaurismäki's unmistakable distinctive stylisation, dry humour delivered with a straight face and idiosyncratic characters. The film also has a social dimension, as it unobtrusively incorporates current events (in the form of radio reports about the war in the Ukraine heard in the timeless retro setting of Helsinki, which is given a nostalgic air), as well as superbly appropriate music and charming, loving cinephilic references to the work of Kaurismäki’s directing role models and friends from the world of independent and art film. And all of this in only eighty minutes.
