Projecting love on his hometown of Paris, Casbah's exotic style is very beautiful, a poetic and realistic...

Smooth, criminal, light and shadow, wide-angle lens, fixed camera. Alley, woman, tragedy. . . (Compared with "Little Caesar" and "Scarface", it is really different!) I plan to compare American and French crime movies! At present, first of all, the French crime bosses are more handsome and romantic, not like the more mediocre or even ugly in the United States. Secondly, French crime films emphasize the description of group portraits, while American films are more direct to the subject, and...

The film completed in 1938! The prototype of "Casablanca" has a full story, avant-garde photography, and extremely rich scenes. The character description and performance of each character are in place and extremely powerful. I especially like the women among them, the gypsy girlfriend, the sweet daddy but indomitable Parisian beauty, the fat woman who was beaten by her husband but never left, the wife of the thief... I like the ending of the movie, but I am helpless. , Misery,...

The ending was rather hurtful, and when I took out a knife, I thought I would pry the handcuffs. The originators of these romanticized heroes are really far-reaching. Chinese subtitles are pretty...

Everyone is free and easy to have fun, so it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, life and death are very common, but why death is something worth thinking about, then for a romance we weaved by ourselves, this kind of romance can only be proved by...

Although, but, this man is still a good scum... The ending of the female second to inform is also unexpected, the poetry is reflected in where there is no feeling, but the reality is indeed very...

The story is a bit old-fashioned, basically film noir and crime. But there are a few scenes that are very cleverly designed, and the feeling of loss at the end is quite...
Pépé le Moko Comments
-
Janvier: Pépé le Moko is still at large.
Meunier: Algiers isn't Pigalle.
Janvier: In Pigalle, he'd have been behind bars long ago.

Meunier: The Casbah is like a labyrinth. I'll show you. You can say Pépé's gone underground. From the air, the district known as the Casbah looks like a teeming anthill, a vast staircase where terraces descend stepwise to the sea. Between these steps are dark, winding streets like so many pitfalls. They intersect, overlap, twist in and out, to form a jumble of mazes. Some are narrow, others vaulted. Wherever you look, stairways climb steeply like ladders, or descend into dark, putrid chasms and slimy porticos, dank and lice-infested. Dark, overcrowded cafés. Silent, empty streets with odd names. A population of 40,000 in an area meant for 10,000. From all over the world. Many, descended from the barbarians, are honest traditionalists, but a mystery to us. Kabyles. Chinese. Gypsies. Stateless. Slavs. Maltese. Negroes. Sicilians. Spaniards. And girls of all nations, shapes and sizes. The tall. The fat. The short. The ageless. The shapeless. Chasms of fat no one would dare approach. The houses have inner courtyards, which are like ceilingless cells that echo like wells and interconnect by means of terraces above. They're the exclusive domain of native women. But Europeans are tolerated. They form a city apart, which, step by step, stretches down to the sea. Colorful, dynamic, multifaceted, boisterous, there's not one Casbah, but hundreds. Thousands. And this teeming maze is what Pépé calls home.
