A Day in the Country (Partie de campagne)Jean Renoir's sensuous celebration of nature is based on a bittersweet story by Guy de Maupassant (The Little Prince).
Following a Parisian merchant on a Sunday trip to the country with his family, the film perfectly captures the melancholic character of transience.
Features a haunting score by Joseph Kosma and the assistance of artistic dynamos Luchino Visconti, Jacques Becker and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
