Independent British distributors Artificial Eye will release on Blu-ray acclaimed Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's (Leningrad Cowboys Trilogy, Lights in the Dusk) Le Havre (2011), starring André Wilms, Blondin Miguel and Jean-Pierre Darroussin. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is July 9th.
Marcel Marx, a former author and a well-known Bohemian, has retreated into a voluntary exile in the port city of Le Havre, where he feels he has reached a closer rapport with the people serving them in the occupation of the honorable, but not too profitable, of a shoe-shiner. He has buried his dreams of a literary breakthrough and lives happily within the triangle of his favorite bar, his work, and his wife Arletty, when fate suddenly throws in his path an underage immigrant refugee from the darkest Africa.
