The Little Theatre of Jean Renoir
Recommended byLuc Moullet
The film"s page
Le Petit Théâtre est composé de quatre histoires, quatre contes, présentés par Jean Renoir lui-même dans un décor de théâtre de marionnettes. On assiste ainsi au dernier réveillon de Noël d’un clochard et de son amie, partageant un repas de fête offert par un restaurant sous un pont où il fera bientôt trop froid pour survivre. Puis entre en scène une ménagère obsédée par le cirage de son sol qui achète une cireuse électrique, objet anodin qui deviendra la source de bien des évènements tragiques… C’est au tour de Jeanne Moreau de se produire pour un interlude musical dans lequel l’actrice interprète une chanson 1900 teintée de nostalgie. Le film se clôt sur l’histoire d’une femme amoureuse de deux hommes qui parvient à garder auprès d’elle ses deux amours…
Notes : Le Petit Théâtre a été réalisé en 1970 pour la télévision et fut diffusé en quatre épisodes. Il sortit en salles en 1975. C’est la dernière œuvre réalisée par Jean Renoir.
