Grand Illusion: Review

One of the undeniably great films in the history of world cinema, Jean Renoir's masterpiece is an eloquent commentary on the borders that divide people, classes, armies and countries. Jean Gabin and Pierre Fresnay are French WWI aces shot down by German ace Von Rauffenstein (Erich von Stroheim). The two survive the crash and are invited to lunch by Rauffenstein before ground troops arrive to cart the French officers off to a POW camp. Read the complete review for Grand Illusion
