Jean Renoir is one of the most famous & probably one of the best directors but sadly I have only seen two, this one and the masterpiece "Grand illusion". It's an excellent screen adaptation of Émile Zola's novel, it also has very beautiful photography and the acting is superb. Jean Gabin is one of my personal favorite actors. It ask the question: What makes a person to kill another human being?
It's a very inspiring film and I have not seen Fritz Lang's version of the film. Some of the sequences in the film can be compared to Hitchcock and it is a highly recommended classic. It also is very interesting because it was made in 1938.
RATING: 9/10
