An Introduction To Jean Renoir

LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE IS OUT NOW ON BLU-RAY, DVD AND DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

7. The Human Beast (La Bete Humaine) | 1938

The Human Beast is one of Renoir’s darkest films with a chilling storyline which involves murder, an unhappy marriage and a train engineer prone to violent outbursts. This film is said to be one of the earlier influences for Film Noir pictures in the 1940s-50’s and stars Jean Gabin. The Human Beast was nominated for Best Foreign Film at Venice Film Festival in 1939.

8. The Rules of the Game (La Regle du Jeu) | 1939

This film was released when Renoir was at the peak of his career. La Regle du Jeu was considered to be one of the French directors most controversial films. Not only because it was the most expensive French film of its time, but also because of the message it sent was thought to be bad for the morale of the country with World War 2 looming. Despite its poor reception and banning by the French government, Renoir’s film was voted the 4th greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound’s 2012 critics poll.
