A Day in the Country
1946 · TMDB 7.3 · Partie de campagne
Directed by Jean Renoir
The family of a Parisian shop-owner spends a day in the country. The daughter falls in love with a man at the inn, where they spend the day.
Why it matters
Renoir's unfinished gem: a Parisian family's picnic by the Seine becomes a brief, sunlit idyll, shadowed by the knowledge that it cannot last.
