The Grand Illusion (114 mins/B&W/1937)
Dir: Jean Renoir/French/France
Using the POW camp as a microcosm, Renoir studies the interplay of a motley group of French officers, forced to live together under the eyes of their German captors set during the WWI.
Made just three years before World War II, it gazes back to a different era, and to a war, “based on fair play, a war without atom bombs or torture. Nor, had the Nazis, who almost succeeded in making people forget that the Germans are also human beings” says Renoir. Grand Illusion has retained the look, sound, and feel of a classic.
