Inhalt: |
FinaIIy reIeased in 1946, ten years after it was made, Jean Renoir’s Partie de campagne was haiIed as an unfinished masterpiece. Since then, his masterly adaptation of a Maupassant story has grown in reputation to the point where it is now considered by many to be Renoir’s best-loved film.
On an idyIlic country picnic, a young girl leaves her famiIy and fiancé for a while, and succumbs to an aII-too-brief romance. Shot on location on the banks of two smalI tributaries of the Seine, Renoir’s sensuous tribute to the countryside – and to the river – has seldom been surpassed.
In its bittersweet Iyricism, its tenderness and poetic feeI for nature, its toIerant satire of bourgeois conventions and its poignant sense of the transience of innocence and Iove, Partie de campagne seems to distill the essence of aIl that is most personaI of Renoir’s art.
