Movie Review - La Bête Humaine
La Bête Humaine (1938)
directed by Jean Renoir
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from JL
This is first and foremost a movie about trains: motion, bridges, tunnels, stations, and yards. As gorgeous as Gabin's goggled, bobbled head out the window of a locomotive, but with a suicide romanticism that sidesteps those fatalistic Hollywood heroes who fuck up but have to keep on living. Only the French.
