“Le Havre” means “port” in Finnish. A ship where immigrant refugees sneaked in arrives at a port, and immigrant officials are busy tracking town illegal immigrants. Among these immigrant refugees is an African boy who is going to the United Kingdom to find his parents. Marcel accidentally sees him, and starts helping him by secretly providing him with food. Marcel is a shoeblack at the central station. He is so poor that he can’t afford bread, and his wife hospitalized. However, he demonstrates his goodwill toward humanity without hesitation. His goodwill affects his neighbors, and even immigrant officials end up helping the boy go back to Africa. While Robert Bresson who deeply influenced Kaurismaki is known for depicting the dark side of the condition in his famous film, [L′argent](Money), Kaurismaki humorously shows circulation of ‘goodwill’ at a port in [Le Havre]. This Finnish master has, in essence, made a warmer style of Bresson. (LEE Sang-yong)
