Storyline:

Whirlpool Of Fate (La Fille De L'Eau)
Renoir's directorial debut silent film stars his wife, Catherine Hessling, as a young girl who manages to turn her tragic family life into one of joy and happiness.

Nana
Emile Zola's famed novel comes alive in Renoir's lavish depiction of an ambitious starlet who seduces the wealthy and powerful men of Paris, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts and death.

Charleston Parade (Sur Un Air De Charleston)
In Renoir's silent erotic fantasy, a young woman (Catherine Hessling) in a post-apocalyptic Paris performs an exuberant Charleston for a traveler and draws him into her way of life.

The Little Match Girl (La Petite Marchande D'Allumettes)
Co-directed with Jean Tedesco. Hans Christian Andersen's timeless story of a match girl (Catherine Hessling) who meets a tragic fate remains poignant and moving even as Renoir updates it with dazzling special effects.

La Marseillaise
Renoir's actor/brother Pierre stars as King Louis XVI who ultimately must abandon his throne to the people in this grand epic account of the French Revolution.

The Doctor's Horrible Experiment (Le Testament Du Docteur Cordelie)
Renoir's stunning contemporary vision of Robert Louis Stevenson's shock horror classic, Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, features a much-acclaimed performance by Jean-Louis Barrault as Dr. Cordelier.

Le Caporal Epingle
Renoir's lively and sometimes humorous portrait of World War II prisoners focuses on a corporal's (Jean-Pierre Cassel) endless attempts to escape, no matter how many times he is recaptured by the Germans.
