Like his father Auguste, Jean Renoir (18941979) was a virtuoso in his field. From early films like La Fille de l'Eau and La Chienne through later masterpieces like Rules of the Game and The Grand Illusion, Renoir forged a reputation as France's most important filmmaker. With film stills and photos on virtually every page, this monograph explores Renoir's enormous body of work and his influence in film.
