Please note: Because of technical issues, Fallen Leaves screens in Lynn Wyatt Theater in the Kinder Building (instead of Brown Auditorium Theater as previously announced).
Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre) makes a masterful return with this timeless, hopeful, and ultimately satisfying love story about the path to happiness of two lonely souls (Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen) and the numerous hurdles they encounter. Reflecting the Finnish auteur’s typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan humor, this tender tragicomedy, set in contemporary Helsinki, is a timely reminder of the potency of moviegoing from one of cinema’s living legends.
- Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival
