Distributor Notes: One of the great works of 1930s poetic realist cinema, LE JOUR SE LEVE was Marcel Carne's third collaboration with screenwriter and poet Jacques Prevert. A story of obsessive sexuality and murder, in which the working-class Francois (Jean Gabin) resorts to killing in order to free the woman he loves from the controlling influence of another man, the film cemented the reputations of Gabin and Carne.
Sorry, this product does not have this type of information.
Review 1:
"Poetic tales about doomed outsiders don't come any moodier than Carne's yarn..."
