This is kind of a soft-sequel to Kaurismäki’s excellent 1992 movie La Vie de Bohème, revolving around the same main protagonist Marcel Marx, featuring the same brand of witty dialogue and human warmth emanating from all sorts of quirky characters. The subject and concern with the fate of refugees - which was also touched upon in La Vie de Bohème and would be at the core of his next and most recent Film, The Other Side of Hope - takes center stage here for the first time. Le Havre is another instance of must-watch Kaurismäki.
