French film director and screenwriter, son of painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and a leading figure of 1930s cinema.

Born 1894, died 1979.

Two highly positive reviews emphasize Renoir's humanity and modernity. La Grande Illusion is praised for timeless characters and emotional impact. La Règle du Jeu is presented as a modern, formal and moral masterpiece.

For:Fans and students of classic French cinema, film scholars and cinephiles

 Watching and rewatching "La Grande Illusion" by Renoir is good for the heart, letting oneself be surprised every time by the timeless humanity of its characters is a joy that few films succeed in communicating, and then it is one of those films that, once made, no longer belong to the director and his collaborators but continue to shine over the years (and it's seventy!) on their light.

 The Rules of the Game became a cornerstone, a cult and reference work.
