My first Duvivier and Gabin. I couldn't believe how good everything about this film is. Gabin is absolutely amazing and has such a vast presence on the screen without even really doing much, he reminds me of De Niro or Pesci in the way that when you watch him you never even consider that he's an actor rather than just actually being the character. All the other performances are great too and the film's characterisation is excellent, each characte… read the rest.
