Fallen leaves by Aki Kaurismäki sketched by Nesta at the press conference
Fallen Leaves directed by Aki Kaurismaki is a fourth trilogy on Beauty and love in this world, a brief encounter kept simple. Aki sets his colours and two actors against a glow of crimson and offers green and white asparagus tips, the perfect companiment to “Un Vin mousseuz, un tout petit verre, ca s’appetite un aperitif”.
There is love and there is comedy, and pride in hard work and very funny Trap (the Finnish translation for Alma’s character). Jussi plays his role without knowing his own or his love’s name, he settles his character description as the lonely fox.
The film is genius and brings Aki’s subconscious narrative life.
