1940 日本電影旬報最外語片

汪洋大盜佩佩輾轉逃至北非的阿爾及爾。這座當時為法國殖民的海濱之城，擁有濃厚伊斯蘭文化氛圍，各式龍蛇雜處於此。早已成功躲避警察追捕的他，對流離的犯罪人生習以為常，卻在這座異鄉愛上了一見傾城的法國女人，那個會令他想起地鐵味道的女人。他們一起說出所有在巴黎去過的地方、卻又一面說著該忘了巴黎，意亂情迷的愛戀卻成了被引誘受捕的危機。

亡命之徒將愛情投射於遙遠的故鄉巴黎，柔焦光暈特寫於臉龐，渲染著曖昧的情愫。鏡頭下，如迷宮之城的殖民地權力紛亂，影像深刻描繪社會中的形色人物：吉普賽女人、地方混混還有來訪破案的偵探。藉著宿命般的愛情故事反映階級與殖民的現實問題。本片早於1944年的《北非諜影》，卻有著相似的悲劇宿命：黑色氛圍縈繞於整個時代，愛情如此渺小僅限彼此，卻也如此偉大足以撼動一城。

Pépé is a wanted criminal in exile, hiding out in the Casbah quarter of Algiers. When he meets Gaby, a beautiful Parisian woman lost in the Casbah, he is immediately besotted. However, the wily police inspector, Slimane, uses her to lure Pépé into the open, but when Pépé learns he has been deceived, his fate turns to a matter of life and death.

Pépé le Moko is a landmark film in both French and international cinema. It features a charismatic performance in the leading role by the great Jean Gabin as the hero-gangster-lover. It presents an alluring view of the then French colony of Algiers, both expressionistic and romanticized. A hugely influential film, it is said to have been the inspiration for many celebrated films, including Casablanca (1942) and The Third Man (1948).
