Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #34. Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves

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.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
