Jean Renoir's LA CHIENNE blends the mundane with murder without betraying the spirit of either. A remarkable film, one of the first talkies, along with Fritz Lang's M, to illustrate that cinema can stand tall and equal with the established arts. It justifiably made Renoir's name as a film-maker of great promise. An artist who veers into extremities of life without losing sight of what makes us human as creatures of routine and rare moments of grace.
Rating: 5/5
