Renoir is a French biography by Gilles Bourdos from 2012. It was screened as the closing film of the Un Certain Regard competition at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival .
action
The famous impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir lived secluded during the First World War on an estate in a light-flooded landscape near Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Côte d'Azur . He is burdened with arthritis and the death of his wife. A new model, the young, carefree Andrée arouses new courage and creativity in him.
One day Renoir's son Jean returns to the country estate, seriously wounded at the front and on convalescence leave. He, too, comes to life through Andrée's presence and begins to step out of the shadow of his famous father. He shares a passion for cinema with Andrée and wants to join her in film production after the war.
In snapshots with opulent and melancholy images, the film tells the relationships between the young Andrée and the old painter at the end of his career and with his son, who - still in the process of self-discovery - is only just beginning his career.
Reviews
"No dramaturgically calculated plot, but color, light, sensuality and the excellent camera work by Mark Ping Bing Lee drive this film, the flowing nature of which you have to get involved in in order to recognize the calm force behind it."
“It is true that the film is about impressionism as well as early film history; He is less interested in the arts and tensions than in the sensual, summery atmosphere of nature and women's bodies. So it is nice to look at, but as an artist film it is rather good. "
