Usta yönetmen Aki Kaurismäki'nin Cannes'da herkesin yüreğini ısıtan son filmi, dünyanın halini dert edinen tatlı ve hüzünlü bir romantik komedi. İki yabancı Helsinki'de bir gece tesadüfen karşılaşır. Hayatlarının ilk, tek ve son aşkının arayışındadır ikisi de. Ne var ki adamın alkolik oluşu, kaybedilen telefon numaraları, birbirlerinin adlarını bilmemeleri ve hayatın genelde mutluluk arayanların yoluna taş koyması gibi nedenlerle işler yolunda gitmez. Trajediyle komediyi şahane bir ustalıkla dengeleyen Sararmış Yapraklar Kaurismäki'ye has sessiz kopukluklar, Nordik mizah, melankoli ve şarkılarla dolu. Sararmış Yapraklar Finlandiya'nın Oscar adayı oldu.

Jan Troell'in yedi yıllık bir aradan sonra çektiği ve İsveç'in 2009 Oscar adayı olan bu şiirsel film, sanayileşme ve kentleşmenin yanı sıra sosyalist ve evanjelist hareketleri de ele alırken kültürel değişimleri at sırtında bir şövalyenin gözünden değil de bir ev hanımının ailesi aracılığıyla irdeliyor. 1900'lerin başlarında İsveç'te, emekçi sınıfından genç bir kadın olan Maria, çekilişten bir fotoğraf makinesi kazanır ve hayatı tamamen değişir. Elinde tutmaya karar verdiği makine sayesinde Maria dünyayı yeni gözlerle görmeye başlar; aynı makine alkolik kocası için bir tehdit unsuru, hikâyeyi anlatan kızı için ise ilham kaynağıdır.
