The Films of Jean Renoir

Add to my lists | Print this list

Jean Renoir, one of the greatest of all directors, had a prolific career. His oeuvre spans over various movements (Popular Front, etc), transitional periods (Silent to Sound, the meeting of Film and Theater and Film and Television), and different countries (USA, India, France, etc).

Here are the listings of 37 of his films. A life’s work here for your checklisting pleasure. Only one film is missing, 1927’s Marquitta, which is lost forever. If I were to list it, no one would ever be able to complete the list.

I hope you enjoy your trip through the films of Jean Renoir as much as I am.

Aside from his international humanism, lyricism, love of nature, wit, warmth, mix of genres, his string of 1930’s masterpieces, his choreography, use of space, camera and composition, his willingness to experiment, going way beyond the single recognisable auteur style fashionable today, he was also the father of Italian neo-realism (see Toni). He easily surpassed his father, and is one of 2 prime contenders for the title of greatest director.
