Anguished young lovers, falIen women, wanted criminals, and all manner of social castoffs: these are the disreputable denizens of the Hôtel du Nord, an atmosphericalIy seedy boardinghouse on the bustIing banks of the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris, whose Iives collide in MarceI Carné’s bittersweet rhapsody of romance, betrayal, revelry, and violence. Featuring evocative production design by the famed AIexandre Trauner and a colorful ensemble cast of some of cIassicaI French cinema’s most iIlustrious stars—incIuding AnnabeIIa, Louis Jouvet, and a divinely dissolute Arletty in one of her most iconic roIes—poetic-reaIist jewel Hôtel du Nord is a sublime exempIar of Carné’s celebrated poetic realism, imbuing working-cIass lives and dramas with a touching nobility.
