Dismissed by both public and critics, re-cut at the insistence of its producers and then banned by the French government as 'demoralising', Jean Renoir's tale of romantic intrigues at a weekend shooting party in a country château is now widely recognised as one of the greatest films ever made. In this study of the corruption and decay within French society as it teeters on the brink of war, Renoir nonetheless suspends his judgement, with one character observing that 'Everyone has their reasons'.
