Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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; André Bazin, the outstanding French film critic and theorist; and François 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, Jean-Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer, and other Cahiers du Cinéma regulars comment on the films. Here are brilliant insights into the whole of Renoir’s oeuvre, from the avant-garde 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamental text for all who love Jean Renoir craft!, October 30, 2004
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Andre Bazin makes a meticuluous and extraordinary analysis around the entire filmography of this famous filmmaker .
There are many issues to know and we have to miss the fact Andre Bazin jus only lived forty years .
But in Francois Truffaut words , this is the most complete book about the greatest french filmmaker in the century .
In my personal opinion only two directors overpasses him in this order: Robert Bresson and Marcel Carne.
