La Grande Illusion
On the message of "La Grande Illusion", Renoir himself said, in a film trailer, dating from the re-release of the film in 1958: "["La Grande Illusion" is] a story about human relationships. I am confident that such a question is so important today that if we don’t solve it, we will just have to say ‘goodbye’ to our beautiful world." Despite widespread interest in the subject, Renoir found it difficult to find a producer and distributor, having to "shop around" the project for years.
