Because it is so uncompromising, so pure, "Port of Shadow's" particularly French brand of romantic fatalism still knocks us out decades after the fact.

We empathize with their resistance to suffer, but it's hard to feel something other than philosophical respect for characters who think of swimmers as soon-to-be drowned men.

From Gabin's fatigued magnetism to cinematographer Eugen Schfftan's woodcut-worthy attention to texture, this is movie melancholia of the very highest order.

As a film that neither attempts more than it can do nor is satisfied with the trivial, Port of Shadows is a pleasure.

Pessimistic, yet strangely sublime.

The results are frustrating, though Michel Simon is wonderfully vulnerable as the shopkeeper Zabel, who complains about the injustice of loving like Romeo but looking like Bluebeard.

Audience Reviews for Port of Shadows (Le quai des brumes)
-
Oct 06, 2015Port of Shadows is French proto-noir. The film is put together nicely in terms of shooting and vibe; the main characters have an odd but good chemistry. I agree with other reviewers that the plot is a bit lacking and the film is strangely episodic but nonetheless uprate it on account of it satisfying my tastes (French, noir).Robert B Super Reviewer

Aug 02, 2014Love is the only hope for people who, paradoxically seek freedom in their already predestined lives. An elegy with haunting, dreamlike atmosphere.Pierluigi P Super Reviewer

May 22, 2010an excellent thriller/mystery from marcel carne about a wandering soldier running from his past, but is unable to run from himself. the film has great performances, especially from gabin, and has a perfect running time to tell a simple story but keep the intrigue.danny d Super Reviewer
