The critical consensus

Predictably, all ends tragically. But mondieu, doesn’t it look sublime?

*****Philip Kemp, Total Film, 30/04/2012

The results are frustrating.

***(*)(*)Leo Robson, Financial Times, 03/05/2012

Pessimistic, yet strangely sublime.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 03/05/2012

One of the all-time greats of European cinema also stands as testimony to the utterly amazing vagaries of filmmaking.

****(*)Miles Fielder, The List, 04/05/2012

A BFI Southbank season of films starring the great Jean Gabin has put a new print of this 1938 masterpiece of poetic realism back on to the big screen at lucky cinemas around the country.

Philip French, The Observer, 06/05/2012

Marcel Carné's film has fully earned its status as a classic of French poetic realism.
