years ago(the early 80's, i'm showing my age)i studied French Cinema of the 30's as part of a uni.French course, so i've long been interested in the subject.I still love several Renoir- Partie de Campagne, La Regle du Jeu, Boudu Sauve des Eaux in particular-,also L'Atalante and Pagnol's Marius Trilogy.Other highly rated clasics include;L'Age d'Or,Le Million,Zero de Conduite,Le Crime de Monsieur Lange,Le Roman d'un Tricheur,Pepe le Moko(probably the best-known Duvivier), La Grande Illusion,La Bete Humaine,Le Jour se Leve.I wuold also strongly recommend two animated shorts by Starewicz: The Tale of the Fox(audacious and witty),and The Mascot(enchanting).
