LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE—Jean Renoir’s film about a publishing co-operative in France, released in Paris in January, 1936—was a precursor to the election later that year of Léon Blum’s Popular Front. Renoir’s politics were notoriously fickle, but in the mid-1930s, at least, he was leaning Left.
The 4K restoration of LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE premiered at this year’s New York Film Festival, and a Los Angeles engagement begins today.
