Jean Renoir by Christopher Faulkner
Jean Renoir (1894-1979) was, like his father Auguste, a virtuoso in his field. From early films such as "La Fille de l'Eau" and "La Chienne" through later masterpieces like "Rules of the Game" and "The Grand Illusion" (widely considered to be two of the greatest films ever made), Renoir forged a reputation as France's most important filmmaker. Highly prolific (he directed over 40 films), Renoir worked in a multitude of genres, though social realism was his most powerful mode of expression.
"A director makes only one movie in his lifeThen he breaks it into pieces and makes it again." - Jean Renoir"
Christopher Faulkner is professor of film studies and director of the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
