Chicago International Film Festival. Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's "Le havre" (2011) is cold and humorous, full of human concern. Great dialogue and performance. In Port of France, marginalized communities, people from the underprivileged, and African immigrants, as always, touch on social issues. It is a pity that the second half of the film is tired and stereotyped, "last minute rescue", misunderstanding of the police detective, everyone is happy, weakening the critical power of the film. let pierre rio also appear

The film chooses a port city as the place where the story takes place. The theme of "wandering" is self-evident, but the director provides hope for the audience with kind and almost stubborn characters and a fairytale-like story. Even the usual blue-gray tones, minimal dialogue, and dilapidated furniture do not bring any sadness. The light of humanity reflected from the little characters in the film conveys endless kindness, which makes people feel extremely warm.
