Le Havre

"Some wonderful, big-hearted comedy was provided by the Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki... Le Havre had all the master's trademarked deadpan dialogue and delicious nuggets of bone-dry humour, and his compassion for the marginalised and dispossessed, but with something richer and sweeter than I remember from his previous pictures… Le Havre is shot in the French port town, with French actors and dialogue, though Kaurismaki's repertory stalwart player Kati Outinen has a role.
