Description
[Machine Translation] Downtown Paris. A whirlwind of love, hate, and human warmth. A classic masterpiece by master filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot! First domestic Blu-ray release in the latest high-definition 4K restored version! A masterpiece that represents the early career of Henri-Georges Clouzot, a winner at the Cannes, Venice, and Berlin Film Festivals. This French noir classic tells the story of love, hate, and bargaining in a downtown area with a fast-paced development and skillful, tension-filled direction. Clouzot, who was forced to suspend his activities under the Nazi occupation of Germany, made his postwar comeback with the support of his friends, including fellow filmmaker Jacques Becquerel and poet/filmmaker Jean Cocteau. The film won the Best Director Award at the Venice International Film Festival. Still highly acclaimed today, the film has been described as "a fascinating noir in which Henri-Georges Clouzot addresses the turmoil of postwar France and the line that separates social struggle and criminal behavior. It is a film that shows off the talent of Clouzot, who is unrivaled when it comes to creating suspense with an emphasis on character portrayal. The film is also a pioneering work in its integration of LGBTQ-related expressions, which were difficult to depict at the time, into the drama. The lead role is played by Louis Jouvet, a great star of the French theater world. In this production, he gives a brilliant performance as a paranoid but sympathetic detective who unravels a murder case, and leads the production. This classic masterpiece, still highly acclaimed today, has been revived in a beautiful 4K restored version. -In 1946, in downtown Paris, shortly after the war, a young man marries a younger singer, Jenny, who is also a detective.
