This bittersweet film from Jean Renoir is a tenderly comic idyll about a city family’s picnic in the French countryside and the romancing of the mother and grown daughter by two local men. Based on a story by Guy de Maupassant, Renoir’s warmly humanist vignette ranks among his most lyrical works – with a love for nature imbuing its every beautiful frame.
