Le jour se lève ([lə ʒuʁ sə lɛv], "The day rises"; also known as Daybreak) is a 1939 French film directed by Marcel Carné and written by Jacques Prévert, based on a story by Jacques Viot. It is considered one of the principal examples of the French film movement known as poetic realism. An original feature of the film is its structure, a long flashback, a procedure that was rarely used at the time—and this two years before the release of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. The set for the bedroom, built by Alexandre Trauner, includes all four sides of the room (rather than the usual three) to allow circular shots and emphasise the sense of confinement. In 1952, it was included in the first British Film Institute's Sight & Sound top ten Greatest Films of All Time list.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Le Jour Se Lève on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
