Absolutely gorgeous movie. Marcel Carne - truly a master of his craft - understood the language of cinema like few others, and when his beautifully expressive visuals and keen sense of camera movement are paired with Jacques Prevert's magnificent, lyrical dialogue, the result is pure film poetry. A complex, intricate meditation on love and life that is both playful and intense, sad and joyful, cynical and hopeful, with a sharp wit, fierce intelligence, and filmmaking prowess that is mind-bogglingly ahead of its time. As usual from Criterion, the Blu-ray quality is top-notch. Can't praise them enough for giving an obscure gem like this such wonderful treatment.
This review is from Les Visiteurs du Soir [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray] [1942]
