Quote of the day: The humanity of Aki Kaurismaki
There’s not much humanity left in the world, but that’s all we have left.”
This is what Aki Kaurismaki told our film journalist Caroline Vié, who was chosen by the festival and by the filmmaker himself to host the press conference for his film. Dead leaves.
When the Finnish director arrived in the room, the latter did not fail to notice that he was red, “very red”, even. But always so funny, answering that he “stopped drinking for ten years” when questioned on the subject. Dead leaves resembles him: poetic, amusing, touching with a remarkable sense of self-mockery. A beautiful film about the love story between two loners which upset festival-goers with its desperate humour.
