› Find signed collectible books: 'Jean Renoir'Book summary:This classic in the literature of cinema represents the convergence of the three leading figures of French film: Jean Renoir, universally considered the greatest French director; André Bazin, the outstanding French film critic and theorist; and François Truffaut, the pioneer of la nouvelle vague. Bazin left this examination of Renoirs films unfinished when he died in 1958; Truffaut collected and edited the essays, and added a comprehensive filmography in which Bazin, Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Jean-Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer, and other Cahiers du Cinéma regulars comment on the films. Here are brilliant insights into the whole of Renoirs oeuvre, from the avant-garde fantasy of La Petite Marchande dAllumettes, through the epic humanism of Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game, to the quiet grace of The River and the profound theatricality of The Golden Coach. Bazin shows why Renoir is the critical figure in the development of cinema since the silent era, and how he went beyond montage to give the art new expressive potential. Renoirs work constitutes one of the most fully and beautifully elaborated visions in contemporary art, and nowhere is this humanistic vision better illuminated than in this book.[via]More editions of Jean Renoir:

› Find signed collectible books: 'An Interview: Jean Renoir'Book summary:The son of Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, Jean Renoir (1894-1979) became one of France's most loved and respected filmmakers during the middle of the twentieth century. Throughout his career, which began during the silent era and continued until 1970, Renoir's style embraced a multitude of genres; indeed, its permutations make it almost impossible to characterize. One thing is certain: at his best-in Grand Illusion (1937) and The Rules of the Game (1939)-he gave us cinematic masterpieces of the highest order that explored class, war, nationality, friendship, and social structure.
With these two works, Renoir represents the flowering of the period of poetic realism in film (roughly 1934-1940), when French films were generally regarded as the most important and sophisticated in the world. Renoir, as a pioneer of uncut compositions and long takes, had enormous influence on directors all over the world, including Orson Welles, François Truffaut, Satyajit Ray, and Roberto Rossellini.
Like his cinematic oeuvre, Jean Renoir: Interviews spans several decades. The interviews-some in English for the first time-disclose a candid, cultivated, and unselfish man, genuinely but also slyly self-critical, and always a warm conversationalist. In a movie career that lasted forty-six years, he never ceased to experiment and explore. These conversations show his ideas evolving and ripening along with the movies he was making. Throughout, Renoir is revealed to be subtle, graceful, prophetic, witty, complex, stylish, lucid, and passionate.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Renoir, My Father'Book summary:In this delightful memoir, Jean Renoir, the director of such masterpieces of the cinema as Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game, tells the life story of his father, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the great Impressionist painter. Recounting Pierre-Auguste's extraordinary career, beginning as a painter of fans and porcelain, recording the rules of thumb by which he worked, and capturing his unpretentious and wonderfully engaging talk and personality, Jean Renoir's book is both a wonderful double portrait of father and son and, in the words of the distinguished art historian John Golding, it "remains the best account of Renoir, and, furthermore, among the most beautiful and moving biographies we have."
Includes 12 pages of color plates and 18 pages of black and white images. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'What Is Cinema'Book summary:André Bazin's What Is Cinema? (volumes I and II) have been classics of film studies for as long as they've been available and are considered the gold standard in the field of film criticism. Although Bazin made no films, his name has been one of the most important in French cinema since World War II. He was co-founder of the influential Cahiers du Cinéma, which under his leadership became one of the world's most distinguished publications. Championing the films of Jean Renoir (who contributed a short foreword to Volume I), Orson Welles, and Roberto Rossellini, he became the protégé of François Truffaut, who honors him touchingly in his forword to Volume II. This new edition includes graceful forewords to each volume by Bazin scholar and biographer Dudley Andrew, who reconsiders Bazin and his place in contemporary film study. The essays themselves are erudite but always accessible, intellectual, and stimulating. As Renoir puts it, the essays of Bazin "will survive even if the cinema does not."[via]More editions of What Is Cinema:
