Adieu to the French poetic era
Although Rene Clair’s Porte des Lilas was released in 1957 it has the feel of a much earlier Jean Renoir film. I could visualize Michel Simon as Juju but that character was played by Pierre Brasseur. Brasseur turns out to be quite the chameleon as an actor. He’s played everything from handsome leads to sinister villains of the Bela Lugosi sort. Here he’s the lovable, pudgy town oaf. A good natured bumbler whose always has a joke. But like many losers there’s a heart that yearns to do something good and to find love. And in the character of Juju you’ll find this films heart and soul. Juju dreams. He dreams of warm places on a winter’s day. Of being of use to someone and of giving. This is an ingredient that underlies great filmmaking. Everything seems to fall in place around this characters bumbling desire for connection. The films other characters are about dreaming also. George Brassens musically accompanying the story along with his wistful tunes. Dany Carrel as the love smitten ingenue are contrasted against the detached townsfolk and mischievous children. Hats off also to the subtle mise en scene in the set arrangements and the way they’re photographed keeping the sense that these characters belong to where they are.

For Georges Brassens alone this movie is worthwhile
I’ve seen this movie in my teens, still going to school. Enjoyed it tremendously. For the romance, the atmosphere, but above all for the appearance of Georges Brassens with his songs. And all this happened in this end of nowhere neighborhood Port Des Lilas, of all places. It was then that I started buying French records and mostly Brassens, but also Ferre, Brel etc. That scene where they climb the garden wall, I can still see that happening for my inner eye. This movie gave me a similar impression and experience as movies like Le Notti di Cabiria and La Strada. I suppose my age had something to do with that, but I long to see it again.
