Review of last week's film ("Le Havre", 3.5 stars)
Steven says: Director Aki Kaurismaki has a unique vision. His films evoke the past while set squarely in the present. The colors are deliberate, as is the acting. And yet, the story unfolds innocently and naturally, painting a great picture of French solidarity and community. He claims this is the first of a trilogy, and we look forward to more of his take on life and society.

Film Comment magazine published an an interview with Aki Kaurismaki that will help explain his vision for the film and answer some of the questions our viewers had.
