Yves Allégret and his faithful screenwriter Jacques Sigurd took the poetic realist style of Carné's early films and developed this into something that is much closer to contemporary American film noir, showing a darker, far less romantic side to human nature.
- Yves Allégret
Une si jolie petite plage is the most visually arresting film to come out of the partnership of director Yves Allégret and screenwriter Jacques Sigurd. Drenched in an aura of melancholia, it provides a bleakly existential meditation on the impossibility of escaping from one's past and the consequences of one's actions.
The film completes a remarkable cycle of three films which Allégret made with screenwriter Jacques Sigurd and which were an extension of the poetic realist style pioneered by Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert in the 1930s.
