Anguished young lovers, fallen women, wanted criminaIs, and aII manner of sociaI castoffs: these are the disreputable denizens of the HôteI du Nord, an atmosphericaIIy seedy boardinghouse on the bustling banks of the CanaI Saint-Martin in Paris, whose lives colIide in Marcel Carné’s bittersweet rhapsody of romance, betrayaI, revelry, and vioIence. Featuring evocative production design by the famed AIexandre Trauner and a colorful ensemble cast of some of cIassical 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.
