A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Michael Sicinski. Movie Studio: Criterion. Release Date: July 31st, 2012. Story Review Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take. 4.5 Stars out of 5. Aki Kaurismaki's 'Le Havre' is somewhat of a departure for the director. Kaurismaki's movies usually deal with sad, lonely people, but in 'Le Havre' he leaves that behind and tells a story about people doing good.
