Claudio C @Claudio666 2h Le Havre (2011) Sweet Film (12,364 – 30 Mar 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In Le Havre, the old shoe shiner Marcel Marx is happily married to his wife Arletty. When a group of African stowaways is found hidden in a container, the boy Idrissa flees. Marcel sees the boy hidden in the water in the harbour and the police looking for him. He leaves food and money for the boy on the ladder. Meanwhile, Arletty has malign cancer and asks the doctor to not tell Marcel. While she stays in the hospital to be treated, Marcel brings Idrissa home and learns that the boy wanted to go to London to meet his mother. While Marcel plots a plan to send the boy to London, the mayor orders Chief of Police Monet to catch the boy. "Le Havre" (2011) is a sweet film with a feelgood story of empathy, friendship and solidarity. All the characters are beautiful people, and the conclusion has two nice surprises. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "O Porto" ("The Harbour") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Sergio A @Sergio83 Jun 29 I thought so many themes couldn’t possibly fit into a 90-minute film, but I was wrong…. Kaurismäki makes everything flow seamlessly. Friendship, love, solidarity, immigration, and compassion all coexist without a hitch. Over the years, his cinema has become more refined, more delicate, and deeply human. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 03/03/2025 A French light comedy with a very happy, uplifting ending. Felt kind of lightweight to me. Shot with those pastel French coloured backgrounds that were all the rage post Amelie. Kitsch. Watched on DVD.
