The cinema of Aki Kaurismäki has a special place in world cinema as the synergy of the oppressed and the rabble. Le Havre and The Other Side of Hope, which belong to the unfinished Harbor Town Trilogy of Aki Kaurismäki, are important films of the director on refugee others. Both films aimed to destroy the perception of immigration and the hate speech that Western societies develop by marginalizing ethnicity from a humanist focus. Kaurismäki’s approach coincides with the theories of Michel de Certeau and Erving Goffman, based on the fact that social actors develop tactics in the face of powers. The local others, who stand in solidarity with the refugee others, are De Certeau’s dishonest and unclear tacticians against authority. Moreover, these perpetrators find partners in crime within the strategy and use the system to their advantage. Kaurismäki has built a strong narrative, that escaping from power will make a humanistic world order possible, by applying all the tactics to his characters. As basic analysis methods; Lacanian psychoanalysis was used to examine the others of the cinema of Kaurismäki and the sociological criticism approach was used to analyze the actions of others in everyday life.
