La Bete Humaine

Jean Renoir, 1938

Film Description

Jean Renoir's masterly Emile Zola adaptation stars Jean Gabin as a troubled train driver who witnesses a murder and falls in love with one of the perpetrators (Simone Simon). Shooting on actual locomotives gives the settings a powerful physicality that fully matches the passions at its centre. Poetic realism and film noir combine in this suspenseful journey into the tormented psyche of a working man.
