Hôtel du Nord
Directed by Marcel Carné
Produced by Societé d'Exploitation et de Distribution de Films (SEDIF), Impérial Film
A poetic, character-rich portrait of bohemian life and romantic yearning along a Parisian canal, where tragedy and tenderness coexist in a tapestry of interconnected lives.
On the meandering Canal St. Martin, at the Parisian Hôtel du Nord, a nearly fatal gunshot separates a dejected young couple. But, amid a sad but beautiful panorama of lively characters, love has the final say. Can life be a fairy tale?
