Hotel Du Nord

Starring: Annabella, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Louis Jouvet, et al.

Product Description

Anguished young lovers, fallen women, wanted criminals, and all manner of social castoffs: these are the disreputable denizens of the Hotel du Nord, an atmospherically seedy boardinghouse on the bustling banks of the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris, whose lives collide in Marcel Carne's bittersweet rhapsody of romance, betrayal, revelry, and violence. Featuring evocative production design by the famed Alexandre Trauner and a colorful ensemble cast of some of classical French cinema's most illustrious stars--including Annabella, Louis Jouvet, and a divinely dissolute Arletty in one of her most iconic roles--poetic-realist jewel Hotel du Nord is a sublime exemplar of Carne's celebrated poetic realism, imbuing working-class lives and dramas with a touching nobility.
