This classic in the literature of cinema represents the convergence of the three leading figures of French film: Jean Renoir, universally considered the greatest French director; Andr Bazin, the outstanding French film critic and theorist; and Franois Truffaut, the pioneer of la nouvelle vague. Bazin left this examination of Renoir s films unfinished when he died in 1958; Truffaut collected and edited the essays, and added a comprehensive filmography in which Bazin, Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, JeanLuc Godard, Eric Rohmer, and other Cahiers du Cinma regulars comment on the films. Here are brilliant insights into the whole of Renoir s oeuvre, from the avantgarde fantasy of La Petite Marchande d Allumettes, through the epic humanism of Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game, to the quiet grace of The River and the profound theatricality of The Golden Coach. Bazin shows why Renoir is the critical figure in the development of cinema since the silent era, and how he went beyond montage to give the art new expressive potential. Renoir s work constitutes one of the most fully and beautifully elaborated visions in contemporary art, and nowhere is this humanistic vision better illuminated than in this book.
