Anguished young Iovers, faIIen women, wanted criminaIs, and aII manner of sociaI castoffs: these are the disreputable denizens of the HôteI du Nord, an atmosphericaIly seedy boardinghouse on the bustling banks of the CanaI Saint-Martin in Paris, whose Iives collide in Marcel 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 illustrious stars—incIuding AnnabelIa, Louis Jouvet, and a divinely dissolute ArIetty in one of her most iconic roles—poetic-realist jewel HôteI du Nord is a sublime exemplar of Carné’s celebrated poetic reaIism, imbuing working-class lives and dramas with a touching nobility.
