Anthony Lane New Yorker “Lady Killer” strikes me as the real deal. Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times Grémillon supplements the bleak fatalism and noirish intrigue with bursts of quivering melodrama that enrich and expand the story beyond its ostensible fatal-attraction framework.

Audience Member French melodrama features an outstanding performance by Gabin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Just saw this in the cinema which often heightens the experience, my first question was what did the cahiers du film make of Gremilon. The new wave might be an easy way to ignore the work before as here was a father figure for the hungry auteurs. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
