Die große Illusion

Grand Illusion

...ett tystlåtet mästerverk om kamratskap och krigets jämställande effekt under första världskriget.

One of the great humanist war films...

The "grand illusion" of Jean Renoir's great film referred originally to the British author Norman Angell's belief that the supposed financial advantage of war is a falsehood.

Jean Renoir's WWI masterpiece remains as moving and joyous as ever.

Far more than a simple anti-war statement, La Grande Illusion is also a lament for a dying social order, a dissection of the intractability of class differences, and an examination of the conflict between friendship and duty.
