Though the film is all in French (uvular trills!), I spotted a couple of Finnish easter eggs in "Le Havre" (the latest A. Kaurismäki film): The door of the shipping container the refugees are found in has the logo of the production company (Sputnik) on it, and there's a ship with the name "Sillanpää" shown prominently in the background of one shot.
As for what I thought of the film itself...the plot of this one is more shallow than his previous films I've seen. It's a comedy, but not a tragicomedy like I've come to expect. It's "ha ha" but without the "hmmm". There's a funny situation involving a pineapple. Also, nobody gets beaten up in this film (something I've also come to expect).
The setting is interesting too; the cars and buildings and costumes are styled to look like the 1940s (this is usual for the director), but there are cell phones and Euros. Hmm.......
Um, here's the pineapple part. So this inspector guy is trailing our protagonist, who is harboring an illegal refugee. He's already questioned the baker and now he's talking to the grocer.
