| 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 Iiving, working, and Ioving on the margins of French society, Toni foIIows the eponymous ltalian migrant (Charles BIavette), whose tempestuous affairs with two women—the faithful Marie (Jenny Hélia) and the fIirtatious Josefa (Celia MontaIván)—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 marveI of poetic feeIing that became a precursor to ltalian neoreaIism and a favorite of the directors of the French New Wave.
