Today’s lone arrival is a new addition to the shop’s inventory: Marcel Carne’s “Port of Shadows,” one of the cornerstones of a moody, fatalistic style that came to be known as poetic realism, which is often cited as a key influence on the film noirs that followed in the decade to come. The film stars the poster boy of poetic realism, Jean Gabin, and boasts a script by Jacques Prevert, an acclaimed novelist, poet, and screenwriter whose position in the pantheon of poetic realist filmmakers is as exalted as any director associated with the style. In fact, the perceived decline of Carne’s work without Prevert has led many to speculate that the writer was the true auteur behind their greatest collaborations.
