In 1898 in the Parisian underworld, three gangsters and an ex-con carpenter all fall for the same beautiful golden-haired woman in Belle Époque France. “A dazzling example of the postwar French film, perfectly capturing the nostalgic poetic-pessimistic mood of the time. This is an unmissable classic.” (The Guardian) BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress (Simone Signoret), nominated for Best Film.
