Le Havre (Film)

2011 (Not Rated) 93 min. France/subtitles
Director: Aki Kaurismaki
Cast: André Wilms, Kati Outinen, Blondin Migriel, Jean-Pierre Darroussin

In this warmhearted portrait of the French harbor city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa into the path of Marcel Marx, a well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoeshiner. With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the warm humor of classic silent cinema, LE HAVRE is a charming, deadpan delight, a comically enchanted movie oasis from the real world where people can rise to the occasion and do the right thing.
