Product Description
This bittersweet work from Jean Renoir (
The Rules of the Game), based on a story by Guy de Maupassant, is a tenderly comic idyll about a city familys picnic in the French countryside and the romancing of the mother and grown daughter by two local men. Conceived as part of a larger project that was never completed, shot in 1936, and released ten years later, the warmly humanist vignette
A Day in the Country ranks among Renoirs most lyrical films, with a love for nature imbuing its every beautiful frame.
