The Forgotten Movie.

What if the greatest illusion of war is that the enemy is fundamentally different from us? Jean Renoir’s The Grand Illusion, released in 1937 as Europe moved toward another devastating war, which was the very first foreign-language film ever nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and tells a surprisingly human story about soldiers on opposite sides who often share more with each other than with their own countrymen. **** Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 02:08 The Grand Illusion 02:40 La Der des Ders 04:30 Russian Steamroller 05:26 Turpinite Bomb 06:33 Language 07:09 Anti-War 07:59 Class 11:32 The Ending **** After a one-year break, we're finally back, this time with a classic from French cinema.
