Fallen Leaves
man this was depressing…but cute. <PERSON> and his characters say little, but the films say a lot.
"the falling leaves, drift by the window..."
there’s just a unique and lovely feeling that comes after watching <PERSON>’s work, even if most of his films are somewhat similar to one another. he continues to make his minimalist yet effective drama comedies drenched in equal amounts of melancholy and glee. 698
they always remain effortlessly engaging and satisfying!
the humor, pathos and loneliness in fallen leaves was relatable. the deadpan simple scenes with misunderstandings, punctuated by the karaoke scenes worked really well. athough this is contemporary, it feels like it’s from a different era, without tech. that was so so refreshing but also sad what the world has become.
also i loved how <PERSON> leaves nice touches for cinephiles — i could see posters for the Sicilian clan, <PERSON>, <PERSON> and his brothers. 529
