Carné uses the concepts of space and time masterfully in this precursor of the film noir genre.

1001 movies to see before you die. Framed

1001 movies to see before you die. Framed around an unusual standoff with French police at a man's apartment, the flashbacks tell the story of how he came to murder a competing lover. Jean Gabin is great.

Prévert screenwriting career is predominantly remembered for his

Prévert screenwriting career is predominantly remembered for his Oscar-nominated contributions to Les Enfants du Paradis, but with its nonlinear narrative structure and dark themes, perhaps Le Jour Se Lève should be a better standard to remember him by. One of the late champions of poetic realism, Carné's film about a man trapped in his apartment reflecting on the course of events that brought him to commit a murder is a classic but today relatively little-known piece of pre-war French cinema (languishing in the shadow of Les Enfants). The story of the film's survival is a fascinating one as well - banned the year after its release by the Vichy government as demoralizing, then unofficially suppressed by RKO when they intended to remake the film post-war; however, the work endured. Featuring a few interesting pieces of cinematography to accentuate the suffering of our protagonist, Gabin's François, the story is a tragic one, recounting a series of relatively conventional events and personalities that ultimately clash with mortal results, particularly romantic entanglements. A film that might not be a top priority for world cinema buffs today, but that is well worth the time. (4/5)
