It begins with an argument behind closed doors, a gun shot, and then a man staggering out, falling down the stairs to his death. Behind the door is Jean Gabin, who now barricades himself in his room to keep the police at bay. We are then shown three flashbacks which ...

Caged in the Casbah
French film star Jean Gabin effuses sensuality in his portrayal of Parisian master thief "Pepe Le Moko" in the 1937 film of the same name. Pepe has been sequestered in the Casbah of Algiers for two years, having evaded authorities. The Casbah whose labrynthine mazes ...
Les Miserables

Bernard Blier
Continental Distributing, 1997
The one and only Jean Valjean
I saw the movie for the first time when I was 10. I am not of the French background. I fell in love with the mistique of France. Partly it happened because of the inspiring characters created by Jean Gabin and other gaints of the Hexagon. A discovery for everyone who ...

Here's the vision quest of our civilization.
This is not only one of the most profound films ever made, but one of the most dazzling and charming depictions of spirituality, etc., ever created. At the beginning, a person moves from darkness and cold and rain toward a place of light and warmth and dryness, seeking ...

Essential French Cinema: Renoir's La Grande Illusion.
There's an endearing reference to The Grand Illusion in Woody Allen's Manhattan, which I saw again recently in the theater (in its new 35mm print). That reference prompted me to revisit Renoir's antiwar masterpiece in French cinema last night. The Grand Illusion is ...

Possibly Renoir's finest film
La Bete Humaine is my favorite Renoir and one which tends to divide many of his critics and admirers. For me it's an exhilarating and involving piece of cinema with characters destroyed by and destroying themselves in events in much more credible circumstances than in ...

Wonderful movie but sound bad

The 1952 slaying of a vacationing family in rural France sent shock waves through the country for years. The crime was dubbed "The Dominici Affair" after Gaston Dominici, the French peasant who was jailed for the death of the couple and their 10-year-old daughter. The brutal crime seized the imagination of controversial director Orson Welles, who ...
Holy Year (L'Année Sainte)

Jean-Claude Brialy
Vanguard Cinema, 2002
Another botched job from Vanguard?
There is nothing wrong with the movie: the 1970s were not easy on the eyes, but for who likes kitsch, good dialogue, a nicely tight plot , the amazing Jean Gabin and the ever charming Danielle Darrieux, L'Annee Sainte holds its own beautifully in the French soft ...

inferior verdict
Having watched this movie years ago in the French version,with English subtitles,I thought it was an excellent if somewhat slow story about a woman visiting the judge who is heading the trial of her son on a charge of murder.Both Loren and Gabin are very good in this ...
