By André Bazin

Book Overview

'Jean Renoir by Andre Bazin is the best book on the cinema, written by the best critic, about the best director. . . If this beautiful book is unfinished, consider it unfinished in the manner of A Day in the Country, which is to say this it is sufficient to itself and, even in its fragmentary state, the finest portrait of Jean Renoir ever written.' --- Francois Truffaut

Customer Reviews

Fundamental text for all who love Jean Renoir craft!

Andre Bazin makes a meticuluous and extraordinary analysis around the entire filmography of this famous filmmaker . There are many issues to know and we have to miss the fact Andre Bazin jus only lived forty years . But in Francois Truffaut words , this is the most complete book about the greatest french filmmaker in the century . In my personal opinion only two directors overpasses him in this order: Robert Bresson and Marcel Carne.
