Essential Art House: Grand Illusion
Jean Renoir’s pacifist masterpiece stars Jean Gabin as a French World War I POW held by Erich von Stroheim’s German captain. One of the greatest antiwar films ever made, Grand Illusion (La grande illusion) is also a rousing prison-escape adventure and an exemplar of the 1930s poetic realist movement.
