Date:

Kuolleet lehdet

The Finnish master filmmaker might have slightly slowed down with a one feature pace every half dozen years or so which means a new entry more or less becomes an event film. Aki Kaurismäki began filming on the tragicomedy Fallen Leaves around the month of August of last year with Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen landing key roles. This would be the fourth entry in the Proletariat Trilogy which includes Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl. This is film twenty for the filmmaker.

Gist: We got no details on the film.

Release Date/Prediction: Some folks are predicting this is a Berlinale title, but we think this will only be ready for Cannes – especially if this is his retirement film.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
