"Grand Illusion"
1937
Directed by Jean Renoir

One of the most celebrated anti-war films ever made - Grand Illusion filters its indictments through the interactions and sacrifices of characters that are divided by class rather than national borders.  This newly restored version was thought lost for over fifty years until it was discovered sitting unlabeled on a shelf at the Cinematheque in Tolouse, France.  The Nazi's had tried to destroy it during the occupation calling "cinematographic enemy No. 1."   Set in WW I, the film tells of two French officers captured by German forces. Interred in a prison camp, the two officers encounter Von Rauffenstein, an aristocratic career officer played by von Stroheim.   "A pristine restoration of one of the greatest movies ever made!" - Jami Bernard, Daily News.  "A sublime classic restored to mint condition!  Should be seen by absolutely everybody!" - David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor.  Featuring a rare filmed introduction  by Jean Renoir.  With Jean Gabin, Pierre Fresnay, Dita Parlo, Marcel Dalio and Erich von Stroheim.  French with English subtitles. 117 minutes.
