Fallen Leaves (2023)

Aki Kaurismäki, the visionary Finnish auteur, brings us a charming cinephile comedy that follows two lonely working-class souls who cross paths in a karaoke bar set in the heart of Helsinki. As they begin an unexpected romance, a series of comical incidents stand in their way. The director's minimalist style and deadpan humor infuse this story with warmth, while underscoring a subtle political commentary. This unconventional romance, winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, will leave your heart content.
