Julien Duvivier, 1937, 94min, 35mm
Starring Jean Gabin, Mireille Balin
An all-time masterpiece of French cinema, Jean Gabin stars in his career-defining role as the suave gangster, constantly dodging the police and teasing informants. He’s safe as long as he stays hidden in the labyrinthine Casbah above the city center of Algiers, but his refuge begins to unravel when he’s drawn out by a love who reminds him of the Paris to which he can never return.
“Julien Duvivier is a favorite of mine, and this is one of his best. If Benicio del Toro had refused the role of Zsa-zsa Korda in our movie, only Jean Gabin could have replaced him—posthumously. The mood, the grand defiance of the character, the magical fantasy of the Casbah: it’s a classic.” – Wes Anderson
