Richard Brody New Yorker The inky despair at the heart of film noir flows freely in prewar French working-class dramas, and this one, from 1930, directed by Jean Grmillon, adds a raw and thrashing physicality to its implacably bitter moods. May 5, 2014 Full Review Dominique Païni Cahiers du Cinéma Grémillon’s stylistic audacity of combining documentary and experimentation faded with the dominance of poetic realism. But it continues to enrapture today. Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Jean Lenauer Close Up Nadia Sibirskaia is wonderful. This actress whose work has astonished us already in Menilmontant, has gained additional force through speech. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
