Nobody is a prophet in their own country, they say – particularly Aki Kaurismäki, whose latest film, Fallen Leaves [+lire aussi :

Fallen Leaves, one of the best-reviewed movies of last year, was shortlisted for an Academy Award, awarded the Jury Prize at Cannes, and nominated for the European Film Awards, the LUX Audience Award and a Golden Globe – with one of its leads, Alma Pöysti, scoring a Golden Globe nod as well. Ironically enough, Kaurismäki’s regular actress Kati Outinen – seen in Drifting Clouds and The Other Side of Hope [+lire aussi :

The first Audience’s Favourite Actress Jussi Award went to Linnea Leino for Toni Kurkimäki’s Lapua 1976, with the film also getting the so-called Feat of the Year gong.
Katja Gauriloff’s Je’vida [+lire aussi :

The first-ever Jussi Awards were given out in Helsinki on 16 November 1944.
