DIR. GILLES BOURDOS
2012 | FRANCE | 111 MINS
(French w/English subtitles)
Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos’ lushly atmospheric drama Renoir tells the story of impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir in declining health at age 74, and his middle son Jean (who created the cinema classics The Rules of the Game and Le Grand Illusion) who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. When a young girl miraculously enters his world, the old painter is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful, Andrée will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation.
