Your coworkers are spying on you. Your boss won't let you keep the expired food. The coffeeshop is charging you an arm and a leg to rent a laptop. In Aki Kaurismäki's funny and wonderful FALLEN LEAVES (2023), can a budding romance survive the everyday indignities of life under capitalism? PLUS: What would a British West Wing look like?


TORONTO: See Will introduce The Dragon Lives Again (1977) at the Fox Theatre on February 23 - https://www.foxtheatre.ca/movies/the-important-cinema-club-masterpiece-classics-the-dragon-lives-again/

My child's best friends older brother was fired just before Christmas for taking home food from the stock that was being thrown away, past sell by date.

I waited to listen until I got the chance to see this in theaters, thought it was lovely. Had only seen a couple other Kaurismaki films, I will say that The Man Without a Past features a dog that may be even better than the one here, who sets a high standard.

Great episode! You said you weren't sure what the art movie posters meant. I think they situate the couple in a grand tradition. They're not just disposable workers, they're romantic heroes. The posters have an effect kind of like that Jesse Jackson Sesame Street "I am somebody" scene. Capitalism has treated people like the protagonists like nobodies, Kaurismaki treated them right. The Fallen Leaves poster would fit well next to those in the film.
