Cinema Preview

FALLING LEAVES, the new film by cult director Aki Kaurismäki, tells the story of two lonely people (Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen) who meet by chance in Helsinki at night. Both are in search of the first, only and final love of their lives. The path to this honourable goal is made more difficult by the man’s alcoholism, lost telephone numbers, not knowing each other’s names and addresses – and not least by life’s general tendency to put obstacles in the way of those seeking happiness.

This gentle tragicomedy, which won the Jury Prize in Cannes, can be considered the “fourth part” of Aki Kaurismäki’s working-class trilogy (“Shadows in Paradise”, “Ariel” and “The Girl from the Match Factory”).
