perhaps the best ever cinematic statement on war

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2003)

Jean Renoir's "Grande" commentary on war should be mandatory viewing for every politician on a monthly basis! This is film making at its finest, dealing with perhaps the most difficult social/political issue of the ages, and Renoir manages to do this without resorting to special effects or abusing the viewer's emotions. This film is like a fine bottle of wine that simply keeps getting better with time.
