The Grand Illusion
Plays 4/9 - Rialto Pictures at SHC
A group of French soldiers, including the patrician Captain de Boeldieu (Pierre Fresnay) and the working-class Lieutenant Maréchal (Jean Gabin), grapple with their own class differences after being captured and held in a World War I German prison camp. When the men are transferred to a high-security fortress, they must concoct a plan to escape beneath the watchful eye of aristocratic German officer von Rauffenstein (Erich von Stroheim), who has formed an unexpected bond with de Boeldieu.
Restored in 4K by Studiocanal and the Cinémathèque de Toulouse from the nitrate camera negative by L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory (Bologna)
