- Summary
- Jean Renoir drew on his memories as a pilot and prisoner-of-war to present this pacifist film set during World War I. Three French soldiers are apprehended and confined in German hands: an aristocrat, Boldieu, a Parisian mechanic, Marechal, and a Jewish banker, Rosenthal. Within the prison setting, a physical boundary that restricts movement, Renoir analyses the more intangible impediments to peaceful human interaction: class, nationality, race, religion and gender.
