French Literature, Film

An Interview represents the last public appearance and some of the last living statements on his films of the great French film director, Jean Renoir. In 1975, Renoir agreed to be interviewed by James Blue, James Silke, and others at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. In this revealing interview Renoir speaks about his relationship with the industry, actors, and his major films, including Grand Illusion, Boudu Saved from Drowning, The River, and Rules of the Game.

An Interview is an important document for anyone interested in the history of film in the 20th century, and a touching testament to one of the world’s greatest directors.
