Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Fallen Leaves” showing Dec. 15-20 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres.
“Fallen Leaves” is Finland’s official entry to the Academy Awards for Best International Film and is the winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. It premiered to rave audience reviews at prestigious film festivals around the world.
Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope) makes a masterful return with “Fallen Leaves” — a timeless, hopeful and ultimately satisfying love story about two lonely souls’ path to happiness and the numerous hurdles they encounter along the way.
Set in contemporary Helsinki, and shot through with Kaurismäki’s typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan humor, this tender romantic tragicomedy is a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinema’s living legends.
