Felicia is joined by Jason Christian to discuss the lasting impact of Jean Renoir’s Grand Illusion (1937). We chat about how the film focuses on the relationships between these men from different sides and classes. Along with how he’s less interested in the battles and more so in his characters mindsets. This is the final episode of the Renoir series, thanks for joining along and as always I hope my guests and I have inspired you to discover more of his work.
