Synopsis
Three of Jean Renoir's films. LA GRANDE ILLUSION, LA BETE HUMAINE and LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE.
LE GRANDE ILLUSION (1937):
Jean Renoir's brilliant farewell to Europe's ancient regime, LA GRANDE ILLUSION, set during WWI, stars Jean Gabin as Marechal and Marcel Dalio as Rosenthal, French prisoners of war who constantly escape from prison only to be recaptured. Along with the gracious aristocrat de Boldieu (Pierre Fresnay), they're moved to the fortresslike Wintersborn prison, from which no one has escaped. The commandant of the prison is the ace German pilot von Rauffenstein (Erich von Stroheim), now grounded by injury. Despite humane treatment, the Frenchmen plan to escape once again.
LA BETE HUMAINE (1938):
Starring Jean Gabin as railway engineer Jacques Lantier, LA BETE HUMAINE is an adaptation of the Emile Zola classic whose characters are driven by rage and lust. Lantier is obssessed with Severine, the beautiful wife of stationmaster Robaud. When Robaud's hatred for Grandmorin, the wealthy and powerful man who had deflowered his wife as a young girl, leads to murder, Lantier is a witness. At this point Severine asks him to kill her husband so they can be together. But Lantier, overwhelmed by revulsion toward all that has come before, refuses to comply with her wishes. Gabin is utterly convincing as the tormented lover in this magnificently atmospheric tale of crime and passion.
LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE (1936):
A wry comedy on the nature of capitalism, starring Rene Lefevre as Amedee Lange. When Batala (Jules Berry), the owner of the faltering publishing company that employs Lange, absconds with the firm's assets, the workers form a collective to run the company. They publish the stories that Lange has written, the adventures of fictional cowboy Arizona Jim, which become hugely successful. But when Batala returns in clerical disguise to take over his now thriving company extreme measures are called for...
