Grand Illusion review



This silent drama was directed by Jean Renoir in 1937. This film is set in World War I and follows two people; Captain de Boeldieu and his mechanic Lieutenant Marèchal, who are shot down and treated with typical officers hospitality. The two men are sent to a German PoW camp where they plot to escape the camp with a group of other prisoners. Their plan fails as they are sent to a whole new camp; the Wintersborn fortress. The leader of this camp attempts to make acquaintances with the Captain but the Captain is already busy with another escape plan. I give this movie a personal score of 8/10.
