Description
Jean Renoir: A Biography by Pascal Mérigeau is a landmark work that offers a fresh approach to one of the most fascinating and creative artistic figures of the twentieth century. This English-language edition, now available for the first time, sheds new light on the life and career of the French filmmaker.
Renoir's extensive filmography spans over forty movies from the silent era to the late '60s, with notable works in France, America, India, and Italy. The biography reveals previously unknown information about Renoir's close affiliation with Communism in the '30s, his work with fascist regimes during World War II, and new insights into the making of his most famous films.
Drawing from unpublished or little-known sources, this biography redefines the role of the movie director while recounting the history of a century. With an estimated 75 percent of the book detailing previously unknown information, Jean Renoir: A Biography is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in film history and the life of one of cinema's greatest directors.
