Episode 427: Fallen Leaves, Monster (2023), The Teachers' Lounge Spoiler Talk

It's Arthouse Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as we continue catching up with acclaimed and Oscar-shortlisted international films. First, we review "Fallen Leaves," the amusingly understated romance from Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismäki. Next, we discuss "Monster," a heartbreaking, "Rashomon"-style drama from Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda. Then we wrap up with a spoiler conversation about the German film "The Teachers' Lounge," which we reviewed earlier this week, because so many of you asked for it. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the excellent season 5 finale of "Fargo" on Hulu as well as episode 2 of Marvel's "Echo" on Disney+. Join us and share your thoughts!   * Be sure to tune in Tuesday at Noon PST for our Oscar nominations livestream over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel.
