Aki Kaurismäki: Fallen Leaves

In May we say goodbye (esnife) The cycle dedicated to one of the great filmmakers of our time, author of a consistent filmography in shape and bottom, with a sense of unmatched staging and an indispensable ethics. Luces at the Atardecer is the last installment of the "Finland Trilogy" that started with Nubes Pasajeras (1996) I WILL FOLLOW A MAN WITHOUT PAST (2002). In this third part, Kaurismäki is stopped on the issue of Soledat. His next trilogy (never ended and stayed in a leaflet) It is about immigration and refugees. Began in 2011 With Le Havre, a moving fable about solidarity and empathy with the other, starring an "unaccompanied minor". Seeing her is undoubtedly the best antidote to dehumanization involved in hiding behind the acronyms of four children's letters fleeing poverty and violence. After his second title on migrants, The other side of hope, We had to wait six years until his next movie. The wait was worth, Because Leaves fail, that resumes many elements of shades in the paradise, It is one of Kaurismäki's most debugged work. A love story between losers who - among melancholy, Humor and polish to capitalisme–, condenses the humanist look of the Finn.
