Fairy tales usually end well, Reivew on Le Havre

It's okay to appreciate the director's style. The scene was clearly filmed in northern France, but it can magically exude the taste of Nordic cities. The French-speaking actors also remind me of the dullness and humor of the characters in Aki Kaurismaki's previous works. Of course, I have to mention that his signature style. Lighting, cinematography, soundtracks and art sets are all invariably authoritative. Aesthetically, this work is truly impeccable. However, on a realistic level, it is quite disappointing, and it is simply a surrealistic fairy tale. The director's intentions can be seen to be quite optimistic and ideal, and he is very liberal and leftist. It is very close to the underworld or empathy for vulnerable people in Hong Kong films in the 1980s. However, if this method is applied in reality To deal with the issue of illegal immigration, the whole of Europe believes that it will soon fall. After all, Aki Kaurismaki is not Ken Loach, and it is easy to slip into a fantasy plot that loses its critical strength when it touches this kind of realism. Perhaps the social problems in northern Europe are not as sharp and prominent as they appear in the film, so the pampered director will also faint for a while and not know why.
