La Grande Illusion

“A gentlemanly prison-break.” ▲

Jean Renoir, son of painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, directed this film in 1937. Set during WWI, British officers attempt a prison-break from a German POW camp. One of the most fascinating looks at social stratification I have seen. There is only one inducement strong enough to make you want to watch this film. And here it is: BEHOLD!

Now you have to watch it...
