Picnic on the Grass (Le Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe)
AroView: Beautifully restored version of Jean Renoir’s penultimate film – a romantic comedy about a presidential candidate for a new Europe who is also a scientist promoting artificial insemination for social betterment and therapy to eliminate passion.
The director pays homage to the verdant impressionistic style of his famous painter father, Auguste Renoir, boldly combining traditional film editing with the multi-camera television-style technique that was popular at the time.
A cautionary tale of where scientific endeavour may be leading humanity, this is more relevant today than when it was made.” ~FrenchFilms.org
“A superb film, one of Jean Renoir’s and France’s finest.” ~Derek Winnert (.com)
