PASSEIO AO CAMPO | UM DIA NO CAMPO

The family of a Parisian shop-owner spends a day in the country. The daughter falls in love to a man at the inn, where they spend the day. Released in 1946, ten years after it was shot.

Don’t let the running time, production difficulties or the fact that it’s an unfinished film put you off—A Day in the Country is a miniature marvel, and one of the great films. No surprise given the talent involved: a young Visconti, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Jacques Becker all lent Renoir a hand.
