    Renoir is really good at filming jealous men (Gabin is also very good at acting, cf Le jour se lève)... The bloody tendency to violence that is inherited from an alcoholic family, the jealousy that femme fatales arouse, the speeding train The engine, working together, contributed to an irrational emotional murder drama... The cannon fodder played by the director himself was a strong robbery...

    Jean Renoir's film adaptation of Zola's novel, which I saw before Fritz Lang's "Desire of Man" is a remake of this film. The theme of the film is quite similar to that of Zola's novels, that is, the description of the protagonist, Randier, who embarks on the road of crime due to the inheritance of alcoholism, is as inevitable as the fate of ancient tragedies. The film adopts a suspenseful love-killing format, and Renoir's psychological analysis is...

    #324|A station for three people. The train scene and the scene where Roubaud finds his dead wife in bed are great. I feel that in Renoir's love story, the men and women facing the camera are crazy and in love with each other. ps Jean Gabin as handsome as...

    Renoir's works created after [The Great Phantom] and before [Game Rules] have once again chosen the adaptation of Zola's novels. A personal tragedy that is partly related to criminal genes and partly caused by lust and jealousy. Jean Gaben played very well. The train runs through the beginning and the end as the core image, but it is difficult for you to point out the clear meaning behind it, or it is a symbol of unstoppable one-way fate. The murder after drawing the curtains is only hinted by...

La Bête Humaine quotes

  • Séverine Roubaud: Yesterday he almost got crushed between two train cars. I was so close to being free. One morning you're fine and by the evening you're dead.

  • Séverine Roubaud: There he is.

    Jacques Lantier: Where? I don't see him.

    Séverine Roubaud: He's coming around the shed. He's coming towards us. I see his shadow on the wall.
