- Summary:
- The son of Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, Jean Renoir (1894-1979) became one of France's most loved and respected filmmakers during the middle of the twentieth century. Throughout his career, which began during the silent era and continued until 1970, Renoir's style embraced a multitude of genres. Its permutations make it almost impossible to characterize. One thing is certain: at his best-in Grand Illusion (1937) and The Rules of the Game (1939)-he gave us cinematic masterpieces of the highest order that explored class, war, nationality, friendship, and social structure.
- Like his cinematic oeuvre, Jean Renoir: Interviews spans several decades. As a whole, the interviews, some in English for the first time, disclose a candid, cultivated, and unselfish man, genuinely but also slyly self-critical, and at all times a warm and pleasant conversationalist. These conversations show his ideas evolving and ripening along with the movies he was making.
