Blu-ray Review: Sweet, Gentle Tale of ‘Le Havre’ Joins Criterion
Submitted by BrianTT on August 6, 2012 - 4:00pmCHICAGO – It takes a French village in the sweet, optimistic, good-natured “Le Havre,” a film about a kind man who does something to help another and how the community doesn’t just rally around him but the world produces a miracle for him in the end. It is such a kind-hearted film that suggests without cynicism that doing good not only will bring more good but will essentially be supported by the world around you. Incredibly well-made and memorable, “Le Havre” is a stellar modern addition to The Criterion Collection.
