Renoir’s brilliant masterpiece about the French upper class on the precipice of WWII might be my favorite film of all time. Probably even more influential than Grand Illusion on the development of certain directors (Robert Altman, Woody Allen and others). I’ve seen the film at least a half dozen times and I’m always amazed at its creativeness and profundity.
