Aki Kaurismäki's Saddest Moment - Drifting Clouds (Kauas pilvet karkaavat) - kaurismaki

A scene from Aki Kaurismäki's masterpiece, Drifting Clouds (Kauas pilvet karkaavat), in which Kati Outinen's character Ilona waves her husband off to his new job and takes a moment to, we assume, mourn for her dead son. In reality, this is the great director's tribute to one of his most used and loved character actors, Matti Pellonpää, who sadly died shortly before the filming of this film. The child in the photograph is Pellonpää as a child. A beautiful statement directed at a wonderful actor, and something that anyone who's seen and appreciated the majority of Kaurismäki's, and Pellonpää's, works can appreciate and feel.
