François, a sympathetic factory worker, kills Valentin with a gun then locks himself in his apartment. As the police besiege the place, he begins to reminisce on how he came to be in this predicament, through his love for Françoise, losing her to the charms of Valentin, his affair with Clara, but enduring love for Françoise. Ultimately alone in his room and out of cigarettes, François realizes he has no hope of escape and decides there is nothing to live for.
One of the last French masterpieces of the thirties, forbidden by military censorship during the war for being pessimistic!
Venice Film Festival 1939: Nominated for best foreign film.
