There is always more beneath the surface of a Marcel Carne film. It’s all in the details such as the shots of a one-eared teddy absorb in the attic reflecting the damage of the man about to be insecure by the police. This movie - a precursor of film noir - begins almost at the extinguish when an impartial laborer, beaten down by the system, kills another man out of passion and has to mask in an attic until the police finally atomize down the door..at daybreak. (French law provided that the police could not enter until dawn) . The tale of the events leading to this unlit ending is told in flashback. There is an eerie sense of fear everywhere. For example the hero (or shall I say anti-hero) works as a sandblaster in a factory and when he works, he is sealed in a chilly suit of metal…all the while unlit, demonic shadows abound or sulfurous fumes race. In the same scene, a flower girl arrives but loses the freshness of her plants because of the smoke.

Made in 1939, the film is also a warning to France which was on the eve of war with Fascist Germany and itself holed itself up - in isolation - until the inevitable trouble. (The Vichy government which collaborated with the Nazis forbade the showing of the film0.

As in so many of the gigantic Marcel Carne films, the director is obsessed with doomed fancy. In those gloomy, edgy days leading up to the war, it must have seemed to Marcel Carne that happiness, while precious, is short lived - always on the verge of being snuffed out callously.

I cannot fault the pitch perfect, dismal performance of Jean Gabin. Gaze his eyes as he awaits his inevitable doom. Gabin - as Francois - portrays a sympathetic, bruised man. He loves an orphan perhaps because he himself was an orphan.

Of all Marcel Carne films, “Le Jour se Leve” is his most compelling metaphor for the impending effort awaiting France. Poetic realism indeed.

A very bleak but kindly film. Jean Gabin is always watchable but this is a wonderful performance, fine and tragic. My one predicament with this particular copy of the film is that the quality is not vast and the subtitles do not translate every line, or even every other line. It has inspired me to brush up on my French, but when you engage a film with subtitles you demand at least most of the dialogue to be subtitled. A actual shame.
