Defining Films
Profile
Jean Renoir (1894-1975) was a French filmmaker who developed a naturalistic approach to cinema that emphasized ensemble casts, fluid camera movement, and deep focus cinematography. His major works, including *La Grande Illusion* (1937) and *La Règle du jeu* (1939), explored class conflict and human complexity through carefully observed social interaction. Renoir's humanist perspective and technical innovations influenced filmmakers across Europe and America, establishing conventions of narrative cinema that persisted for decades. He worked in both France and Hollywood, adapting his methods to different contexts while maintaining a distinctive visual and thematic approach to storytelling.
In Their Own Words
I realized that a person in a coma can have an intense life. And that memory also was influential for the movie.
