Hôtel du Nord
France • 1938
Director
#1139Criterion Collection →Synopsis
Hotel Du Nord isn't as well known as the two movies Marcel Carné made before and after, Port Of Shadows and Le Jour Se Lève. But any Carné, especially pre-war Carné (and doubly so with Arletty in the cast), is worth seeing. Annabella is the star of this drama, about a star-crossed couple, betrayal, and redemption involving a procuror (Louis Jouvet) who is profoundly affected by her innocence.
