#jean gabin #louis jouvet #what is amazing about this film is that pepel thinks he's heterosexual #me: watches important serious film by giant of french cinema about class and poverty #also me: these guys!! do they KNOW they're in love????!!?? #there is a lot to say about how pepel views women and relationships and hasn't realised the deepest bond he has is with the baron #like dude you need this kind of companionship and comradeship to build a relationship on #also in no news to anyone #jean gabin is ADORKABLE when he laughs #we watched a LOT of french films when I was visiting jools #including a couple of jean ones although more papa gabin than young wiggly hair gabin #and I am watching more now I'm home! #which is amazing considering how tired I am #my wee gifs
