  • Final Weeks of Popular Jean Renoir Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1994 FINAL WEEKS OF POPULAR JEAN RENOIR RETROSPECTIVE AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The Museum of Modern Art's popular retrospective of the complete extant work of director Jean Renoir (1894-1979), one of cinema's great masters, continues through November 27, 1994. Presented in commemoration of the centenary of the director's birth, the exhibition comprises thirty-seven works, including thirty-three films by Renoir and a 1993 BBC documentary about the filmmaker by David Thompson. Twenty-three of the works by Renoir have been drawn from the Museum's film archives. Many of the remaining titles are also from the Cinematheque frangaise, Paris, and Interama, New York. The son of the Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jean Renoir produced a rich and complex oeuvre that mined the spectacle of life, in all its fascinating inconstancy. In 1967 he said, "I'm trying to discover human beings, and sometimes I do." Although critics and scholars disagree on how to categorize Renoir's films -- some believe that his work can be divided into periods, while others argue that his films should be viewed as an indivisible whole -- there is no dissent about their integrity. His works are unfailingly humane, psychologically acute, and bursting with visual and aural moments that propel the narratives. - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Highlights of the second half of the program include a new 35mm print of La Bete humaine (The Beast in Man, 1938), a powerful adaptation of a novel by Emile Zola, previously available in the United States only in 16mm.

He is PROFILE COLLECTION considered one of the first great auteurs, a cinematic master whose distinctive style always contained a concern for human issues and a reverence for natural beauty. As the son of the great impressionist painter, Auguste Renoir, the filmmaker as a young man was encouraged to freely explore artistic and intellectual pursuits. He eventually chose ceramics, but during a long convalescence, developed a passion for film.

  • The Museum of Modern Art Celebrates Vienna's Rich
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART CELEBRATES VIENNA’S RICH CINEMATIC HISTORY WITH MAJOR COLLABORATIVE EXHIBITION Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema Is Held in Conjunction with Carnegie Hall’s Citywide Festival Vienna: City of Dreams, and Features Guest Appearances by VALIE EXPORT and Jem Cohen Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema February 27–April 20, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, January 29, 2014—In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art presents a major collaborative exhibition exploring Vienna as a city both real and mythic throughout the history of cinema. With additional contributions from the Filmarchiv Austria, the exhibition focuses on Austrian and German Jewish émigrés—including Max Ophuls, Erich von Stroheim, and Billy Wilder—as they look back on the city they left behind, as well as an international array of contemporary filmmakers and artists, such as Jem Cohen, VALIE EXPORT, Michael Haneke, Kurt Kren, Stanley Kubrick, Richard Linklater, Nicholas Roeg, and Ulrich Seidl, whose visions of Vienna reveal the powerful hold the city continues to exert over our collective unconscious. Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema is organized by Alexander Horwath, Director, Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, and Joshua Siegel, Associate Curator, Department of Film, MoMA, with special thanks to the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere. The exhibition is also held in conjunction with Vienna: City of Dreams, a citywide festival organized by Carnegie Hall. Spanning the late 19th to the early 21st centuries, from historical and romanticized images of the Austro-Hungarian empire to noir-tinged Cold War narratives, and from a breeding ground of anti- Semitism and European Fascism to a present-day center of artistic experimentation and socioeconomic stability, the exhibition features some 70 films.

  • French Film Series to Conclude with Works from Final Period of the Classic Tradition
    The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART ENTRANCE at 18 W. 54 #42 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRENCH FILM SERIES TO CONCLUDE WITH WORKS FROM FINAL PERIOD OF THE CLASSIC TRADITION In its final months, REDISCOVERING FRENCH FILM PART II, The Museum of Modern Art's comprehensive survey of French film history, will screen classics from the 1940s and • 50s, then pause to look back at the very beginnings of the long tradition of French filmmaking. The schedule for August begins with a look at the French cinema at the time of the Occupation and features two rare films of the liberation: Le Six Juin a l'Aube, a documentary made by the great feature film director Jean Gremillon, and Rene Clement's La Bataille du Rail. Also scheduled in August are two of the most striking French films noirs of the postwar period, Clouzot's Quai des Qrfevres and Yves All^gret's De'dee d'An vers, Simone Signoret's star-making vehicle. In September, the schedule will focus on the films of the 1950s, during the last flowering of the classic tradition before the tumult of the New Wave. Among the highlights are two film adaptations of Emile Zola's scathing social fiction—Julien Duvivier's Pot-Bouille and Marcel Carne*' s updated Therese Raquin—plus La Marie du Port, a rarely seen Carrie vehicle for France's most durable male star, Jean Gabin. Many of the most prominent French films of the '50s retreated into an acid-tinged nostalgia for the past; such resplendent examples of this tendency as Max Ophuls's La Ronde and Le Plaisir, Rene Clair's Les Grandes Manoeuvres and Les Belles-de-Nuit, and Jean Renoir's French Can-can are scheduled.

  • Renoir in the '30S Instructor: Michael Fox Tuesdays, 10 Am-12:30 Pm
    Renoir in the ‘30s Instructor: Michael Fox Tuesdays, 10 am-12:30 pm, Sept. 24-Oct. 29, 2019 [email protected] The greatest filmmaker in the world, according to both Orson Welles and Francis Truffaut, Jean Renoir began making movies in the silent era. With the introduction of sound, the writer, director and occasional actor embarked on his most productive and greatest period. The remarkable body of work he produced in the 1930s, from the still-innovative La Chienne through the reviled and rediscovered The Rules of the Game, encompasses melodrama, social realism, tragicomedy, historical epic and farce. This lecture and screening class explores the genius and contradictions of a humanist who combined effortless artistry with accessible social critique. The son of the great impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jean Renoir made his mark in the early thirties with an anarchic send-up of the bourgeoisie (Boudu Saved From Drowning) and a popular-front Gorky adaptation (The Lower Depths). He closed the decade with two critical humanistic studies of French society—Grand Illusion (celebrated in its time) and The Rules of the Game (trashed by critics and audiences, and reassessed much later)—that routinely make the lists of the greatest movies ever made. After a brief, unfulfilling Hollywood stint during World War II, Renoir traveled to India to make his first Technicolor film, The River, and returned to Europe in the early fifties to direct three visually impressive explorations of theater, The Golden Coach, French Cancan and Elena and Her Men. After completing The Little Theater of Jean Renoir, comprised of three short films, in the late sixties, he dedicated himself to writing.
