Kaurismaki declares Chaplin as the best filmmaker of all times at Cannes

user
  Aki Kaurismaki's new film Fallen Leaves is a comedy in a world he feels has very little left of humanity. He wastes no time to not give his opinion about other filmmakers or even his own films that he never sees -- all except Chaplin who he says is the best due to his simplicity. That sums up the Finnish director whose simple responses to questions about the world, other filmmakers and his own work is deadpan humor of the highest order. And in subtle ways he explains aspects of ...
