Gilles Bourdos's exquisite new film RENOIR, chronicles the celebrated artist's twilight years, his relationship with his son - the future director Jean Renoir - and the two men's relationship with Andrée, the painter's final muse and future wife of Jean.

Selected in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard and Lincoln Center’s Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, RENOIR is scheduled to open in New York (Lincoln Plaza Cinema) and Los Angeles on Friday, March 29 followed by a national release.

Set on the French Riviera in in the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos’ lushly atmospheric drama RENOIR tells the story of celebrated Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, in declining health at age 74, and his middle son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. The elder Renoir is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy when a young girl miraculously enters his world. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful, Andrée  (César-nominated newcomer Christa Théret)

Lucien Nouis enseigne la littérature et la pensée des Lumières à NYU. Son livre à paraître, De l’infini des bibliothèques au livre unique. Imaginaires de l’archive épurée au xviiie siècle, se situe aux confins de l’épistémologie, de l’histoire du livre et de la philosophie.

Le Peuple et l’archive selon Louis Sébastien Mercier

Nombreux sont les hommes de lettres et les philosophes des Lumières à avoir fait du passage au crible des bibliothèques une étape nécessaire du changement : ouvrir d’autres possibles suppose pour eux que l’on parvienne, dans le présent, à séparer le grain de l’ivraie, c’est-à-dire à prendre le meilleur dans la masse infinie des livres pour le restituer au public sous une forme concentrée et à nouveau lisible. La Révolution va donner une urgence politique extraordinaire à ce type de discours : régénérer la vie, la société, c’est aussi agir sur les livres. Il s’agira ici de s’interroger sur la façon dont Louis Sébastien Mercier m
