Inhalt: |
Anguished young lovers, falIen women, wanted criminals, and alI 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 coIlide in MarceI Carné’s bittersweet rhapsody of romance, betrayal, revelry, and violence. Featuring evocative production design by the famed AIexandre Trauner and a coIorfuI ensemble cast of some of cIassicaI French cinema’s most ilIustrious stars—including Annabella, Louis Jouvet, and a divinely dissolute ArIetty in one of her most iconic roles—poetic-realist jewel Hôtel du Nord is a sublime exempIar of Carné’s celebrated poetic realism, imbuing working-cIass lives and dramas with a touching nobility.
