Contradiction, reality
can't be poetic. Realism lies in the subject. Subjects are not glamorised. Stories are not about
a dishwasher who becomes a star or something. Showed social group, social class. Showed
everyday failures and so on in well composed style. Had strong fatalism. His films were very
complex. 3 classical films ,,Le grande illusion", ,,La bete humaine", La regle du Jeu".
Renoir in the American Studio-system
9 years, 6 films. Feels miserable, films are not commercialy succesful. Had problems dealing
with the working method.
Return to Europe
Went to India. ,,The river". Renoir returned to Europe and started to make movies which
reflected more firectly his preoccupation with the theatre. ,,Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"

The class differences in French society, the complexityof human nature, racism, war, theatre,
identity
1932 ,,Boudu sauve des eaux", ,,Boudu saved from drowning". Saves a homeless guy who
jumps from the bridge. Gets him out of the river
