Synopsis

In a chaotic 19th-century Paris teeming with aristocrats, thieves, psychics, and courtesans, theater mime Baptiste is in love with the mysterious actress Garance. But Garance, in turn, is loved by three other men: pretentious actor Frederick, conniving thief Lacenaire, and Count Edouard of Montray.

MUBI's take

A stone-cold classic from the Golden Age of French cinema, Marcel Carné’s tragic romance is an extravagant spectacle. With an Oscar®-nominated screenplay by Jacques Prévert, what makes this film even more impressive is its complicated production: it was made during the German Occupation of France.
