Description of this Marius Pagnol Poster
Marius is a 1931 French drama film directed by Alexander Korda. It is based on the 1929 play of the same title by Marcel Pagnol. The film is part of the Marseille Trilogy which includes the films Fanny (Marius's ex-fiancée) and César (Marius's father). The film was selected to be featured in the Cannes Classics section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. The restored film also received a limited re-release in the United States by Janus Films on January 4, 2017, which premiered at the Film Forum .
The film was directed by Korda for the French subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. A separate Swedish version, Längtan till havet by John W. Brunius, was also released in 1931 and a German version, The Golden Anchor, also made by Korda, was released the following year.
The film takes place primarily in the waterfront bar of Marius's father César. Marius works in the bar and his good childhood friend, Fanny, sells cockles outside the bar. Marius has a hidden desire to travel to exotic places with the crews of the boats that leave from the docks of Marseille. This desire is revealed when a rich, older man (Panisse) proposes to Fanny and Marius becomes jealous. Marius's jealousy of Panisse is the first indication of the secret feelings he has for her, but to his great surprise, these feelings are reciprocated by Fanny. She confesses to him that she loves Marius, which prompts him to reveal his plans to travel around the world, pointing out to him that being the wife of a man at sea is not a desirable life. After a few nights, it is discovered that they have slept together and Marius's father and Fanny's mother convince him to marry her. After proposing to Fanny, Marius becomes noticeably melancholy until a few days later, when a ship on which Marius was supposed to be a crew member departs. Fanny, realizing that Marius is not really happy to be with her, decides to encourage him to leave. She helps distract her father while Marius sneaks onto the boat.
