La Bête Humaine (film)
''La Bête Humaine'' (English: ''The Human Beast'' and ''Judas Was a Woman'') is a 1938 French film directed by Jean Renoir, with cinematography by Curt Courant. The picture features Jean Gabin and Simone Simon, and is loosely based on the 1890 novel '' La Bête humaine'' by Émile Zola. ''La Bête Humaine'' is partially set "on a train that may be thought of as one of the main characters in the film." Although generally listed as a romantic drama, it is sometimes considered a precursor to the film noir genre. Plot The film opens with a quote from Zola's novel, one of his " Rougon-Macquart" series, emphasizing a character's fate as tied to the hereditary alcoholism that runs through his family's generations. The film itself, however, represents only a portion of the novel and veers from Zola's overriding theme of naturalistic fatalism. Lantier is a railway engine driver obsessively tied to his locomotive, in part because his work distracts him from recurring headaches and viole ...
