France has selected director Gilles Bourdos' latest film, Renoir, to represent it at upcoming Academy Awards. The film stars Michel Bouquet, Christa Theret, Romane Bohringer, and Vincent Rottiers.
Official synopsis: The Cote d'Azur. 1915. In his twilight years, Pierre-Auguste Renoir is tormented by the loss of his wife, the pains of arthritic old age and the terrible news that his son Jean has been wounded in action. But when a young girl miraculously enters his world, the old painter is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy. Blazing with life, the radiantly beautiful Andree will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation.
Note: Earlier this month, New Video Group, a division of Cinedigm Entertainment, announced that it will release Renoir on Blu-ray on November 5th. See our listing of this upcoming release here.
