😸
Edition screened: Included on Criterion Blu-ray La Chienne #818, released 2016. French language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 52 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
Jean Renoir’s first sound film is an adaptation of a terrible popular play. The movie begins with a reasonably humorous gag about spelling a foreign word, then goes downhill fast. Shrew wife + obnoxious kid + five minutes worth of dialogue repeated ten times = stinkerific.
