Le Havre
“Le Havre is a playful parable that conveys profound truths about compassion, humility and sacrifice.” – Washington Post
In this warmhearted portrait from director Aki Kaurismäki, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (André Wilms), 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. Telluride by the Sea 2011 Selection. Palme d’Or Nominee at Cannes. Subtitled.
NR, 93 mins, Fin, 2011
