Originally published in France in 2012, Pascal Merigeau's
definitive biography of legendary film director Jean Renoir is a
landmark work,the winner of a Prix Goncourt, France's top literary
achievement. Now available in the English language for the first
time, Jean Renoir: A Biography , is the definitive study of one of
the most fascinating and creative artistic figures of the twentieth
century. The French filmmaker made more than forty films from the
silent era to the late '60s and today he is revered by filmmakers
and seen by many as one of the greatest of all time. Renoir made
acclaimed movies in France, America, India, and Italy and became a
writer during the last part of his life. An estimated 75 percent of
the book details previously unknown information about the
filmmaker, including Renoir's close affiliation with Communism in
the '30s (when he was the Party's official director) and his work
with the fascist regimes during World War II his previously
uncredited Hollywood film, The Amazing Mrs. Holiday and new
information on the making of his most famous films. Drawing from
unpublished or little known sources, this biography is a completely
fresh approach to the maker of Grand Illusion and The Rules of the
Game , redefining the very function of the movie director and
simultaneously recounting the history of a century.
