Daybreak

French director Marcel Carné and his frequent screenwriter Jacques Prévert collaborated on this classic "Le jour se lève" that stars Jean Gabin as a factory worker who contemplates during a night how he came to kill a man while the police are waiting to arrest him. The beautiful filmed and acted film is a perfect example of the “poetic realism” genre that Carné and Gabin are known for. The excellent cast includes Arletty, the star of Carné's "Children of Paradise" in a supporting role. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
