After 6 years of absence and 17 years of sobriety, the Finnish master Aki Kauriosmaki retraces the steps of his famous ‘‘trilogy of the losers’’ (‘‘Drifting Clouds’’ – 1996 , ‘‘The Man Without a Past’’ – 2002 , ‘‘Lights in the Dusk’’ – 2006). He is competing for the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival with ‘‘Fallen Leaves’’, a poignant and melancholic masterpiece about the shattered destiny of two marginalized people who are desperately trying to sketch out a love story in which the burlesque desputes it to the tragic.
