This book offers an in-depth exploration of the film La Grande Illusion from multiple viewpoints. The initial section focuses on cinematic techniques, dissecting key sequences shot by shot. The latter half broadens the scope to include the film's historical context, its critical reception, Jean Renoir's career, and connections to film theory, such as the relationship between film and music. It posits that Renoir's 1930s output was inconsistent, with some films featuring melodramatic plots and conventional techniques. The analysis emphasizes the film as a cinematically expressive work of art, rather than solely focusing on its humanist or anti-war themes.
