| In 1934, Jean Renoir stepped off the soundstage and headed to the South of France, where he captured vivid human drama amid the bucolic spIendor and everyday social rituals of the countryside. Based on a true story and set in a community of immigrants Iiving, working, and loving 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 (CeIia Montalván)—unleash a wave of tragedy. Making use of nonprofessional actors, on-Iocation shooting, and the resources of the great Marcel Pagnol’s Provence studio, Renoir crafts a marvel of poetic feeling that became a precursor to ItaIian neorealism and a favorite of the directors of the French New Wave.
