Partie de Campagne (Region B)
Â
On an idyllic country picnic, a young girl leaves her family and fiancé for a while, and succumbs to an all-too-brief romance
Finally released in 1946, ten years after it was made, Jean Renoirâs Partie de campagne was hailed as an unfinished masterpiece. Since then, his masterly adaptation of a Maupassant story has grown in reputation to the point where it is now considered by many to be Renoirâs best-loved film.
On an idyllic country picnic, a young girl leaves her family and fiancĂ© for a while, and succumbs to an all-too-brief romance. Shot on location on the banks of two small tributaries of the Seine, Renoirâs sensuous tribute to the countryside â and to the river â has seldom been surpassed.
In its bittersweet lyricism, its tenderness and poetic feel for nature, its tolerant satire of bourgeois conventions and its poignant sense of the transience of innocence and love, Partie de campagne seems to distil the essence of all that is most personal of Renoirâs art.
