Anecdotes
The film Ansa and Holappa see in the cinema is Les morts ne meurent pas (2019), which was directed by Jim Jarmusch. Jarmusch has said he has been influenced by Kaurismäki, appearing in Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989) and set part of his own film Night on Earth (1991) in Finland, where he used several of Kaurismäki's regular actors.

Gaffes
The sequence of radio news reports about the Russo-Ukrainian War is not in chronological order. For example, the Mariupol hospital airstrike is mentioned at the very beginning of the film, whereas a report on the Mariupol theatre airstrike is heard in the second half, even though there's only a week of difference between those events. Between those bulletins there are several others about the events having happened in the summer and in the autumn of 2022. This is impossible in the reality of the film, because its narrative is completely linear.

A movie that left me full of joy

Fallen Leaves is a rather short movie but very dense in content. The acting, the dialogues, the sets are austere, which can feel unattractive for many people used to the usual bombardment of images. But this minimalistic direction leaves an immense space for emotions.

The characters have precarious lives. They are confronted daily with the pains and the hardships of the working-classes: bad bosses, poverty, unemployment, addiction. On this background of darkness, the movie manages to remain light and even funny. Life feels fragile and yet, the characters also find solidarity, hope, and love. That might be the political and poetic meaning of this movie.

I left the theater full of joy and with a smile on my face.
