That's awesome, glad you found it useful!

Thank you for your appreciation Luiz Henrique. If you've learned something new from it and enjoyed it, then I'm thoroughly glad.

Thanks for that, sounds like a very interesting article. All the best.

No worries.

No worries Peter. Hope you enjoy the film, let me know what you thought of it, afterwards. Cheers!

@ Hi. I did enjoy it very much. I do love the feeling of a time machine that these movies create, especially when viewing them on the big screen. I could see its resonances even in modern cinema, especially that of Paolo Sorrentino (although he takes much more from Fellini - who I'm sure was influenced by Renoir). Even in Ruben Östlund's The Square; which sprang to mind upon viewing this. Looking forward to seeing more Renoir in the coming months. I have been lucky enough to catch a fair few screenings of Bresson and Bergman at the Bfi. It's a joy to see these older movies in such a lovely space.

@@petertaylorarts Great to know that, Peter. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

Thank you, gofannon1943. I too think that Renoir is generally very careful and balanced in his character's emotional depiction, with both qualities and flaws. I too found them to be realistic, human in fact, in most of his films. The same cannot be said for example in many successful films of today. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Mandibil.

@ It wasn’t exactly a positive critique :-)

@@Mandibil I understood the sarcasm, but I nevertheless know it's possible to learn from criticism.

@ It is the same "..immorality of the bourgeoisie" and "for-warning of the war " type of review as they probably teach in film school. It is a case of hindsight is 20/20 I would say.

@@Mandibil Perhaps, but I wouldn't know, I merely attempted to provide an historical context of production, its reception at the time, influence on later films and my personal perspective on it, the way I see it from a contemporary viewpoint, exactly as I do in all other film analysis in here. If that matches what is taught elsewhere, then hopefully this short video may have suited the curious viewer and enticed him to further explore the film by his own self. Cheers.
