  • Le Havre Countries: Finnland, France, Germany Year: 2012 Writer &Director: Aki Kaurismäki Cinematography: Timo Salminen Editing: Timo Linnasalo
    Le Havre Countries: Finnland, France, Germany Year: 2012 Writer &Director: Aki Kaurismäki Cinematography: Timo Salminen Editing: Timo Linnasalo CAST André Wilms, Kati Outinen, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, www.chelmsford-filmclub.co.uk Blondin Miguel, Elina Salo, Evelyne Didi, Quoc Dung Nguyen, François Monnié, Little Bob (as Roberto Piazza), Laïka the dog. ‘Aki Kaurismäki’s Le Havre is a film you want to hug. It is so adorable – like a loved mutt – that it lowers your blood pressure while heightening your besotted and caring interest. In a noirish corner of north-west France the former author and social rebel Marcel Marx (Kaurismäki regular André Wilms) employs himself as a shoe-shiner. In a vocational acte gratuit (existentialism alert!) he has gone native with the common people. He is now a one-man catchment and protection area for foreign fugitives, such as the young Gabon stowaway Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) pursued by immigration police. Imagine a plot made from Rimbaud, Camus and Simenon, mixed together, then served with a festive cracker and funny hat. Kaurismäki finds that point where a basilisk spoofiness intersects with a throbbing verismo. You can take the film seriously: the ominous music, shadow-edged décor, men in hats pursuing men without. Or you can giggle in pastiche-lovers’ delight. Or you can do both. This is the temps perdu of novelist Céline and filmmakers Melville and Carné. People say solemnly surreal lines like “She is the road manager of my soul.” And who could resist the Dadaist scene of a brooding black-coated detective (Jean-Pierre Darroussin) sitting in a bar holding a pineapple, drinking a Calvados, pondering unsolved crimes? Maigret meets Magritte.

  • The Auteurial-National Nexus and Aki Kaurismäki's Finland Trilogy
    “Our Aki” The auteurial-national nexus and Aki Kaurismäki’s Finland trilogy Sanna Peden Bachelor of Arts (European Studies) Honours This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities European Studies 2012 Abstract This thesis explores the interconnections of ‘Finnishness’ and ‘Kaurismäkianness’ in and around Aki Kaurismäki’s so-called Finland trilogy: Drifting Clouds (1996), The Man Without A Past (2002) and Lights in the Dusk (2006). The thesis addresses how Kaurismäki, whose work and public persona have tended to be critical of national institutions and preoccupations, has developed into an increasingly national figure in Finland’s years of Europeanisation. In order to examine the links between ‘Finnishness’ and ‘Kaurismäkianness’ I establish, first, the way in which Kaurismäki’s films engage with national themes; and, second, the way in which this Kaurismäkian take on Finnishness is received and further appropriated in Finland. I provide a textual analysis of each of the focus films, paying particular attention to their national aspects and their references to Kaurismäki’s other films. I combine this close analysis of the film texts with discussion of the context of the films, their media presence and ‘afterlife’, for example the discourses surrounding the films after their initial release or the ways in which their ‘Kaurismäkianness’ has been appropriated by others for specifically national purposes. In seeking to understand how Kaurismäki’s auteurial engagement with narratives of Finnishness feeds back into Finnish society this thesis contributes to current debates about the relationship between auteurs and national identity.

Deux destins qui se croisent. Wikhström, la cinquantaine, décide de changer de vie en quittant sa femme alcoolique et son travail de représentant de commerce pour ouvrir un restaurant. Khaled est quant à lui un jeune réfugié syrien, échoué dans la capitale par accident. Il voit sa demande d’asile rejetée mais décide de rester malgré tout. Un soir, Wikhström le trouve dans la cour de son restaurant. Touché par le jeune homme, il décide de le prendre sous son aile. NOTES DU RÉALISATEUR Avec ce film, je tente de mon mieux de briser le point de vue européen sur les réfugiés considérés tantôt comme des victimes objets de notre apitoiement, tantôt comme des réfugiés économiques qui avec insolence veulent prendre notre travail, nos femmes, nos logements et nos voitures. La création et le développement de nos préjugés en stéréotypes ont une sombre résonance dans l’histoire de l’Europe. L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DE L’ESPOIR est, je l’avoue volontiers, un film qui tend dans une certaine mesure et sans scrupules à influer sur l’opinion du spectateur et essaie de manipuler ses sentiments pour y parvenir.
