Directed by Jean Renoir1953 Romantic Comedy
Not Rated
****
While neither as fascinating as The Rules of the Game nor as invigorating as Grand Illusion, Renoir's 1953 period piece (shot three times in English, French and Italian - I watched the English version (the one Renoir supposedly preferred)) is still a very funny look at the world of acting. Probably one of the best films about acting ever made, actually. Anna Magnani's performance often goes from hilarious to annoying without a moment's notice, but overall, the film is worth checking out, especially for fans of Renoir. The use of color is incredible.
