Grand Illusion


















Grand Illusion (1927)
a film by Jean Renoir

Grand Illusion is a story of a war in which the parts engaged have faces, have stories and above all are really human. It is a great contrast after All Quiet on the Western Front, to see this romanticized image of war that celebrates humanity amidst the great tragedy that was the trenches and machine gun reality. A portrait of war like no other, a great humanist film.
