Grand Illusion


Iconic film by Jean Renoir set in World War 1. Dealing with issues of class and nationalism, by demonstrating the irony of it through the friendship of the leader of the French regiment having more in common with his German counterpart than with his own soldier.
The film is sublte and the characters are excellent. While the overall look of this feel cannot be described as anything other than beautiful.
