		Renoir has been accused of taking the politics out of Zola, and of reducing the novel's social commentary on the corrupt grand-bourgeoisie of the Second Empire to a few glimpses of an elegant Parisian mansion and the office of a judge who claims that he 'knows' murderers by looking at their eyes.
		But Renoir is also careful to emphasise the solidarity of the rail- way workers and the function of the railway in the building of modern France.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion
		Renoir certainly seems to be saying that men are at their best in wartime, with different races, religions, and classes working together as brothers in arms, with even enemies respectful toward one another.
		Renoir was at least sympathetic to Communism in these years between the wars, it is shocking to see how nostalgic the film is toward the chivalric aristocrats and how skeptical toward the materialistic masses.
		It may not have been Jean Renoir's intent, but at least this viewer got the impression that what was being portrayed on screen was the death of the culture those standards secured and the rise of mass barbarism, though the whole is admittedly coated with a delicate patina of hope.

		Renoir was sensitive to his actors' bodies and gestures, stating once: "I began to realize that the gesture of a laundress, of a woman combining her hair before a mirror, of a streethawker near a car, had an incomparable plastic eloquence.

		Renoir's relaxed telling of this drollery makes room for plenty of upstairs-downstairs subsidiary characters (including Juliette Greco as a gypsy), but there's no question about who's the star: Bergman is in beautiful form, especially so in the film's rich color palette.
		Jean Renoir turns the crises leading up to the civilisation-shaking devastation of World War One into the stuff of Ruritarian operetta, a world in which mislaid hot-air balloons cause international incidents.
		Renoir subtitled this film "a musical fantasy", and it does have a Mozartian briskness, putting one in mind of Le Nozzi di Figaro, with its various romantic complications.

	Nana / 1926 / film review / Jean Renoir / Catherine Hessling
		Jean Renoir’s second full-length film is this lavish and fairly faithful adaptation of Emile Zola’s classic novel, Nana.
		The film stars Renoir’s wife, Catherine Hessling, in one of her most eccentric performances as the flawed heroine Nana.
		Hessling is brilliant at capturing the negative qualities of the character — her vulgarity, her arrogance and vanity — but she also manages to arouse sympathy in the spectator and comes across as a victim of her own social background and uncontrollable impulses.

	Jean Renoir
		Renoir has created many of the most memorable and moving moments in the history of cinema, and these should be the first object of study, rather than arguments about how “auteurists” have turned "a discontinuous body of work" into an oeuvre.
		Renoir convalesced in Paris, mainly in an apartment rented by his father, who, though he was now in a wheelchair as a result of his arthritis, had come to the capital to be near his two sons.
		Renoir's protagonists are no group on the margins of society, but high society itself; his doomed hero no army deserter—as in Carné's Quai des brumes (1938), which he had furiously denounced (23)—or factory-worker destroyed by sexual jealousy, but a national hero.

		Master director Jean Renoir’s sumptuous tribute to the theatre, presented here in the English version he favored, is set to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and built around vivacious and volatile star Anna Magnani.
		Jean Gabin plays the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while juggling the love of two beautiful women—an Egyptian belly-dancer and a naive working girl turned cancan star.
