ژان رنوآر: تصویرهایی از بهشت

Now back in print, the definitive biography of a seminal figure in film history, whom Orson Welles called “the greatest of all directors." Jean Renoir's career almost spans the history years of cinema–from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war. Decades after its release, Renoir's The Rules of the Game (1939) is the only film to have been included on every top ten list in the Sight & Sound 's respected decennial poll since 1952, cementing Renoir's influence. André Bazin and François Truffaut praised Renoir as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Jean Renoir: Projections of Paradise gives detailed accounts of Renoir's working methods and captivating appraisals of his films, and his long and fascinating life from his blissful childhood as the son of the great Impressionist painter August Renoir. This is a must-read for students of film and all fans of entertaining, timeless movies. “A warm and intelligent biography . . . that successfully and lovingly evokes the world of one of the cinema’s true giants” (Kirkus Reviews). Hailed by Orson Welles as “the greatest of all directors,” Jean Renoir had a career that spanned five decades, and more than forty films—from silent melodrama to farce; film noir to musical comedy; and his scathing satires and tragedies informed by the Front Populaire. He has influenced generations of international filmmakers including Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Satyajit Ray, Luchino Visconti, and Mike Leigh. He’s been praised by André Bazin and François Truffaut as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Now, the genius behind such masterpieces as The Grand Illusion, The Rules of the Game, and The River is the subject of “the ideal Renoir biography—easy, graceful and unpretentious, as it . . . tell[s] us about Renoir’s long, rich life and career” (The Los Angeles Times). In this authoritative portrait written with the full cooperation of Renoir’s son, Bergan draws from exclusive interviews and the director’s personal archives to illuminate his remarkable life and invaluable contribution to cinema. From his childhood as the son of great Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir to his escape from Nazi-occupied France to a flourishing career in the French film industry and to his turbulent and trying years in Hollywood, Bergan delivers an “impressive critical biography . . . Revealing . . . compassionate [and] poetic” (Publishers Weekly).
