This week at The Film Club we’re talking about a Jean Renoir classic, The Grand Illusion. The film takes place in a German prison camp during the First World War and we follow a group of French soldiers who have been brought to the camp to serve time. Upon arrival the soldiers meet the aristocrat German Officer Von Rauffenstien who immediately connects with the French Captain Boeldieu who also has his ties to the world of aristocracy. The French soldiers do what they can to keep their new everyday life positive while they are secretly digging their way out to freedom. Join us as we dive into the world of The Grand Illusion.
