Le Havre

2011, Aki Kaurismaki, with Andre Wilms

Raw, simple and sweet. Isolates small elements of life, showing how easy sometimes it is to be decent in our decisions, affect the world around us. Great aesthetics, minimalist but full of colour and contrast, pleasant, attached to old objects and their modern functionality, symbolism. A criticism of the overly fast pace of modern life, which sometimes prevents us from pondering about what is the right thing to do towards those we like.

"The more pessimistic I feel, the more optimistic I need to make my movies. That’s my refuge" - Kaurismaki
