Capital Celluloid 2025 — Day 346: Sun Dec 14

The Southerner (Renoir, 1945): Cine Lumiere, 2pm

This screening is part of the Travelling Shots season at Cine Lumiere and is shown again at the cinema on December 17th. Full details here.

Chicago Reader review:
Jean Renoir’s 1945 examination of dirt farmers in the American south is probably his finest Hollywood film, which is to say a masterpiece. There isn’t much of a story, but the film has a sense of people and place that gives it a tremendous weight and authenticity. The visuals seem sunbaked, blistering.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
