Review by Library Journal Review

In the titular Normandy port city, a shoe shine man (Andre Wilms) strikes up an improbable friendship with an adolescent boy sought by police as part of a smuggled band of African immigrants, making it his purpose to reunite the young emigre with his mother. In his typical poker-faced comedic style, Aki Kaurismaki (The Man Without a Past) offers a modern-day fable suffused with hope and salvation that eschews the pitfalls of easy sentimentality. This deftly upbeat film is recommended for any viewer open to reading subtitles. [See Trailers, LJ 6/1/12.] (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
