How many moviegoers

After reading the comments below, I have to sigh, how many people did not understand the movie. Le Havre is not a story, but a fable, a fable from the inside out. Fables are stylized stories, Le Havre is a deliberately stylized film. The set is stylized, the props are stylized, the lighting is stylized, the shots, the plot, and even the performance are stylized. In Le Havre, tranquility is blue (Marcel's house is blue, the hospital is blue), hope is red (Idrisse wears red when she sets out, and the bakery lady has red flowers on her head) . This seemingly nostalgic approach is not so much nostalgic, but rather a refinement, which is to reduce the complex and simplify. Use the classic method to complete the unity of the content and form of the fable.

    Humanism reached its peak in the warm and pathos-filled [Le Havre] of Kaurice Mackey. Obviously, this is a fairy tale. The pictures that can only be shot with film have the quality of oil painting, which makes this film like a still life exude a kind of sadness. This sadness comes from the times: everything that is cold is modern (the source of all problems comes from computer errors), and everything that is human is retro. This is the director's worldview at this stage. What can be solved with composition, he will never waste one more shot. Shoot and shoot like this, until he aimed the lens at a flower branch, and saw the brilliance of gold-like humanity in it.
