PEPÉ LE MOKO Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Initially released during France’s cinematic Golden Age in 1937, Julien Duvivier's timeless romantic thriller starring notable French talent Jean Gabin has been deemed by the New York Times as one of the most enjoyable films ever made. It was remade twice in the US and had a clear influence on Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock and Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers. The influential classic returns to the silver screen now fully restored from February 26 in France.
Taking refuge in the Algiers kasbah, PÉPÉ LE MOKO - the chief of a band of robbers - falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Gaby. Unfortunately their romance is a short one since Slimane, an informer, sets a trap for Pépé to get him to leave his haunt. Both a king and prisoner, the Parisian beauty tempts his fate.
