Le Jour se lève
Marcel Carné
A foundry worker reminisces on how he ended up murdering his wife’s lover. The zenith of the Carné/Prévert double act, this film unfolds over three innovative flashbacks, preceding the use of the same device in Citizen Kane by a year. “My father was a great friend of Jacques Prévert and an unconditional devotee of his films”. (Francine Deroudille)
