A Day in the Country
Jean Renoir’s sun-drenched romance was filmed in 1936 but not finalized and released until 1946. It’s the bittersweet story of two couples who change partners while picnicking along the banks of the Seine. The movie was photographed by Renoir’s brilliant nephew Claude (his uncle’s The River and Vadim’s Barbarella).
