Watch the trailer to Aki Kaurismäki’s Le Havre



Finnish director of the acclaimed Lights in the Dusk and The Man Without a Past is back with yet another heavily stylised comedic film in Le Havre. The story follows an elderly couple as they come across an illegal immigrant en route to England, and subsequently take him in despite the increasing pressure from police hot on his trail.

The film was well received at Cannes and will be doing the festival rounds at TIFF before getting a general release in Europe around September. UK release date is still unknown, but it'll most probably be here for the holidays.

An elderly working-class couple living in the famous Norman port city find themselves harbouring a young African illegal immigrant from the authorities as he tries to make his way to England. The local police inspector suspects that they are protecting illegals and a cat-and-mouse game ensues.
