TELERAMA
André Laurent, captain of the tugboat the Cyclone, attends the wedding of one of his sailors with his crew before being urgently called to rescue the passengers of a cargo ship, including Catherine, the captain's wife. While his wife Yvonne hides his illness from him and begs him to retire, André falls madly in love with Catherine, with whom he begins an affair...
A timeless masterpiece of the seventh art with a script and dialogue by Jacques Prévert, Remorques brings together the legendary couple from Quai des Mignes , Jean Gabin and Michèle Morgan. A filmmaker who loves the sea and comes from documentaries, Jean Grémillon ( Gueule d'amour , Lumière d'été ) is the brilliant mastermind behind this symphony of feelings swept away by the forces of nature. The incredible shooting of this film, initiated in July 1939 and carried out briskly until September 1941 under the Occupation, completed his legend. A splendid marine poem, Remorques is available for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its sumptuous 4K restoration!
