“Probably the best on Renoir to have appeared in any language.”—Jonathan Rosenbaum
Raymond Durgnat brings his astonishing visual memory and his individual analytic style to bear on the entire Renoir oeuvre, recreating such little-known achievements as La Nuit du Carrefour, Le Crime de M. Lange, or political works such as La Marseillaise. Witty, articulate, encyclopedic in his knowledge of the French cultural and political scene, Durgnat gives Renoir's films the aesthetic, philosophical, and social analysis their complexity demands.
