Marcel Marx, a former bohemian and struggling author, has given up his literary ambitions and relocated to the port city Le Havre. He leads a simple life based around his wife Arletty, his favourite bar and his not too profitable profession as a shoeshiner. As Arletty suddenly becomes seriously ill, Marcel's path crosses with an underage illegal immigrant from Africa, who needs Marcel's help to hide from the police.

Top Critics Reviews

If the bummers and ambiguity of some of this season's movies are getting you down - or, hey, just the bummers and ambiguities of life - make your way to Le Havre. You won't be sorry.
– Steven Rea,

'Tis the season, so the saying goes. And when it comes to Aki Kaurismaki, it holds true. The Finnish writer-director arrives bearing a gift wrapped in a contemporary immigration fable.

"Le Havre" is a passing fancy of a film, but it passes quite nicely indeed.
– Tom Long,

Endearingly quirky, just this side of precious, but so warm and deftly executed that you go along with it.
– Jon Frosch,

We are so held by the film's impact that its ending, surprise or not, is like a bonus.
