Port of Shadows

A classic of the golden age of French cinema, Marcel Carné starkly portrays an underworld of lonely souls wrestling with their own destinies. Jean (Jean Gabin), a deserter sick of the hand that life's dealt him, arrives at Le Havre. He meets an enticing young woman, but is halted by her suitors. Jean decides to risk it all for her, but with the last ship leaving, can either truly be free?
