Whirlpool of Fate 09/24 Blu-ray (Rental)

Whirlpool of Fate (1925) is Jean Renoir’s debut feature, a lyrical tale of the tragic life of an orphan girl. An independent feature shot on family friend Paul Cézanne’s property, La Nicotiere, it is a dreamy episodic melodrama that follows the poor girl as she endures the loss of her father, the abuse of her alcoholic uncle, and a perilous fall down a well that erases her memory and triggers surreal dreams. Presented in a beautiful new 4K restoration, Whirlpool of Fate gives an early glimpse of Renoir’s immense talent. | | Special Features: | -Audio commentary by film critic Nick Pinkerton | -Music composed and performed by Antonio Coppola | | | Top | About this item | Similar | From the Brand | Questions | Reviews | Whirlpool of Fate | Whirlpool of Fate | Product details
