The Little Theatre of Jean Renoir ★★★ 1971

A farewell by director Jean Renoir featuring three short films. In the first, Renoir's humanist beliefs are apparent in “The Last Christmas Dinner,” a Hans Christian Anderseninspired story. Next, “The Electric Floor Waxer” is a comic opera. The third piece is called “A Tribute to Tolerance.” Slight but important late statement by a great director. In French with English subtitles. 100m/C VHS . Jean Renoir, Fernand Sardou, Jean Carmet, Francoise Arnoul, Jeanne Moreau; D: Jean Renoir; W: Jean Renoir.
