History of French Cinema: Jean Renoir
Option#2: Are there any French directors from the syllabus that you particularly appreciate for their artistic qualities?
Directing a film entails assembling a massive team of people to collaborate on making the idea in your brain a reality. In a 1970 interview, filmmaker Jean Renoir offers timeless advice for leaders worldwide on humility, responsibility, achievement, and more. Many of us find ourselves in leadership positions at some time in our careers. On the other hand, many of us never receive any training or guidance on being successful leaders. But, regardless we end up providing official or informal guidance, we must inspire or encourage individuals to work together to achieve a common goal. Jean Renoir is among the most decorated, celebrated, and artistic French directors of the 20th Century with his leadership in film making and producing. The paper discusses his individualness and what made him special.
Director Jean Renoir as a Leader
Directors are the executives in charge of film productions. They put together their crew, explain their vision, and handle the highs and lows of the filmmaking process. As a result, the expertise of a competent director provides valuable insight into the traits of a strong leader. In 1970, filmmaker Jean Renoir spoke with George Stevens Jr. of the American Film Institute on the leadership elements of directing. His observations highlight several critical points. Renoir began creating silent movies and proceeded to do so until the 1960s. His two most notable pictures were The Rules of the Game (1939) and The Grand Illusion (1937). In 1975, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Academy Award for his contributions to the movie production business (Rohdie 21).
Renoir discusses leadership responsibility in the interview, saying, "I'm a filmmaker who has spent his whole life offering stories that nobody wants." It is still ongoing. But I'm accustomed to it, and I'm not criticizing since the ideas that were imposed on me were frequently better than my own." Leadership does not always include having all of the solutions; it is also necessary to set aside your ego to foster and promote your team's contributions. Leaders don't always have the greatest ideas. However, folks on their team frequently have fantastic ones as well. Renoir believes that a producer's responsibility is to have a goal that is distinct enough that you really can work through the errors that come with implementing it (O'Shaughnessy 8). "A picture, when it is wonderful, is frequently the consequence of an inner feeling that is so powerful that you have to express what you want, despite a bad narrative or commercial challenges."
Renoir's Films
When Renoir's films initially came out, they were underappreciated. They were ordinary, complicated, dynamic, and technically adventurous, and few observed their sophisticated structure. They were frequently criticized as harsh and not completely realized aesthetically. The generation fond of Cinema and created the rise in Cinema (1960 to 1970) appreciated Renoir's work over the years. They admired Renior and considered him a legend and an inspiration, especially to people who wanted to film. Most of the films Renor made were all considered masterpieces during that time.
The wheel has spun full round today, in an era where producers, financiers, and commissioning editors exhibit the most abysmal homogeneity, and exciting work is kept away in a cage far away from prying eyes, lest it spread disease. Renoir is considered a genius, but few people who encounter his work today seem to realize or grasp its humor, intensity, or significance. As a consequence, we are all impoverished. Great art is very much active and well, and it both teaches and stirs up feelings, as evidenced by the most recent New York production of Arturo Ui, a play by Renoir's friend Bertolt Brecht. La Règ...
