Three late period films from the masterful French director Jean Renoir are compiled on this first-rate release from Criterion. The Golden Coach, French Cancan, and Elena and Her Man are each presented in the original theatrical aspect ratio. Soundtracks for all three films are presented in mono and in the original language. Supplemental materials include introductions by Renoir himself as well as directors Peter Bogdanovich and Martin Scorsese, a three-part interview with Renoir that extends over the course of all three discs, the second half of a documentary about Renoir created by film critic David Thompson, production stills, and interviews with some of Renoir's collaborators. This is an outstanding box set for anyone who loves movies. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
