Ideal for readers interested in film history, war studies, and European history, particularly those intrigued by the social and political contexts of early 20th-century cinema.
Jean Renoir's 1937 film La Grande Illusion is set during the First World War, but its themes of Franco-German conflict, divided loyalties in a time of war and the rise of anti-Semitism made it compelling and controversial viewing. Julian Jackson traces the film's historical context and its reception history.
...clear, to the point and packed with black and white stills...' Total Film '...Jackson's commentary on the film is passionate and informed...' - H-France Review
