"Films have grown so aggressive and jittery that it takes patience to calm down into one like 'The River' [1951]. Its most dramatic moment takes place offscreen. [Jean] Renoir is not interested in emotional manipulation but in regarding lives as they are lived."—Roger Ebert #cinema #jeanrenoir

Picked this up on vacation. Always enjoy those books of directors just riffing… #jeanrenoir #classicfilm #frenchfilm

“This Land is Mine” (1943) is a gripping tale of life in a Nazi-occupied country—unspecified but clearly meant to be France. (It was directed by French expatriate Jean Renoir.)

Excellent portrayals of various characters’ motivations, notably by Walter Slezak and George Sanders. Loses steam when Charles Laughton’s extended monologues take over the film in the final act.
