Gorgeously shot and affectingly brooding, Marcel Carné’s Hôtel du Nord shows equal amounts of empathy for its occupants one and all.

The film is one of France’s major films of poetic realism, blending socially serious settings with a romantic aesthetic, putting Carne in the same room as Jean Renoir, Jean Vigo, and Julien Duvivier.

ambiguity of illusion is key to the film’s effectiveness and why it rises above its relatively pedantic melodramatic narratives

One of the best examples of poetic realism, which was Marcel Carne's stock-in-trade. A satisfying blend of comedy, drama and romantic melodrama. [Criterion Blu-ray]
