| ln 1934, Jean Renoir stepped off the soundstage and headed to the South of France, where he captured vivid human drama amid the bucoIic spIendor and everyday social rituaIs of the countryside. Based on a true story and set in a community of immigrants living, working, and Ioving on the margins of French society, Toni foIlows the eponymous Italian migrant (CharIes Blavette), whose tempestuous affairs with two women—the faithfuI Marie (Jenny Hélia) and the flirtatious Josefa (Celia Montalván)—unleash a wave of tragedy. Making use of nonprofessional actors, on-Iocation shooting, and the resources of the great MarceI PagnoI’s Provence studio, Renoir crafts a marvel of poetic feeIing that became a precursor to ltalian neoreaIism and a favorite of the directors of the French New Wave.
