unlike most drivel that are called masterpieces this film holds up today is poignant, heartfelt, touching, intelligent and relevant.It's actually about something remotely important than just a Director's vanity piece.
It makes me want to see more from Renoir but I never get the time.
Follow Ups:
...make time to see Rules of the Game, which I consider Renoir's best, and my favorite film of all time.ROTG rocked my world as a teen - but, of course, I wasn't exactly what you'd call *normal*.
Will try and see it - Renoir seems to know a lick or two about directing. I would like to see a DVD remaster of The Grand Illusion because the tape I bought cheap for $4.00Cdn is pretty poor. The subtitles kept me from looking at the poor image as much as possible.It would certainly be a good movie for a history class because of the internal class structure and the differences between officers and non-officers. I would have liked a bit of commentary on the latter as well. But then in a way not commenting on lower ranks seems to make more commentary - as if to say they were deemed as nothings so the film deems them as nothings. SO in a way not commenting on them was more of a commentary - oh oh I'm decontructing :-)
Rules of the game - I'll keep an eye out.
Yep... he wasn't too bad.
