A DOUBLE GEM VIDEO,
By Marc-André Hallé (Baie-Comeau, Québec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Chienne [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This 1931 Renoir movie, made four years after the arrival of the first talking picture, is a very realistic analysis of some aspects of Montmartre way of living, with it's crude dialogue, lightened only by Renoir's naturalistic poetry. Michel Simon gives in this film (and in "L'Atalante") one of his top performances as the constantly humiliated husband who goes painting to support his mistress who exploits him."La Chienne" comes with the 1936 short "Une partie de campagne" , a masterpiece of French freshness which reminds us that Jean Renoir is also the son of the impressionist painter Auguste Renoir. One complaint about this bonus film: dialogue is almost inaudible due to sound parasites. |
