Country: Finland / France
Plot: When an African boy arrives by cargo ship in the port city of Le Havre, an aging shoe shiner welcomes him into his home.
Quick comment: Talented
finnish director Kaurismaki is back with this wonderful story about illegal
immigration in France. Through a poignant humor and an uncanny style that gives
particular attention to the image composition, he continues to fill the screens
denouncing society issues and telling us that if you do the good you’ll be
rewarded. I also recommend from this director:"a man without a past", "the match factory girl", "ariel" and "lights in the dusk".
Relevant awards: Best film, director, script and cinematography (Jussi awards); Fipresci prize (Cannes).
