“Kaurismaki's ingenious pastiche of French populist poetic-realist dramas plumbs their styles and moods for enduring political substance.”~New Yorker

Aroview: An old-time shoe-shiner befriends a young African refugee in hiding from immigration authorities in this soft-centred comedy from the master of deadpan, Aki Kaurismaki.

Through impeccable Euro-centric style and carefully controlled performances, Kaurismaki hits all the right notes in his comeback film, distinctive for its quietly compassionate tone amid the absurdity and irony of its portrait of provincial French life.
