*_About the book_____*

__ __

Renoir is widely considered to be one of the most important technical innovators and politically engaged filmmakers in cinema history. Reassessing the unique qualities of Renoir’s influential visual style by interpreting his films through Gilles Deleuze’s film philosophy and through previously unpublished production files, Barry Nevin provides a fresh and accessible interdisciplinary perspective that illuminates both the consistency and diversity of Renoir’s oeuvre. Exploring canonised landmarks in Renoir’s career, including /La Grande Illusion /(1937) and /La Règle du jeu/ (1939), the book also considers neglected films such as /Le Bled/ (1929) and /Diary of a Chambermaid/ (1946) to present a rounded analysis of this quintessential French auteur’s oeuvre.____

*"**Barry Nevin has here made a significant contribution to the densely-populated field of Renoir studies and the currently thriving world of Deleuzian film theory. The work is nourished by significant archival research and extensive interdisciplinary erudition. This is a book of great importance to all serious students of Renoir**." *-- Professor Keith Reader, University of London Institute in Paris____
