Fallen Leaves

Directed by Aki Kaurismäki
Starring Alma Pöysti, Alina Tomnikov, Jussi Vatanen

Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope) 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 humour, this tender romantic tragicomedy is a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinema’s living legends.

Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
