ABSTRACT

Director Jean Renoir’s 1930s films are considered some of the most influential in film history. However, little is known about Renoir’s team of collaborators who helped to realise these ground-breaking, politically engaged films. This study considers the role of Renoir’s long-time editor during this period, Marguerite Renoir. Through an examination of Jean Renoir’s personal letters from and an original shooting script from assistant director Marc Maurette, the author establishes Marguerite Renoir’s crucial role in creating Jean Renoir’s La Marseillaise(1938). Marrying this archival research with a close reading of a scene from the film, she reveals how additional shifts in point of view can be attributed to the editor, ultimately claiming that representing the social body and a collective filmmaking process are deeply intertwined in La Marseillaise. At the time of writing, this is the first study to focus exclusively on Marguerite Renoir’s unique contributions to this film.

摘要

导演让·雷诺阿（Jean Renoir）的1930年代电影被认为是电影史上最具影响力的电影。但是，对于雷诺阿的合作者团队所知甚少，他们帮助实现了这些开创性的，具有政治意义的电影。这项研究考虑了Renoir的长期编辑Marguerite Renoir的角色。通过检查让·雷诺阿的私人来信和助理导演马克·莫雷特的原始拍摄剧本，作者确定了玛格丽特·雷诺阿在创造让·雷诺阿的《La Marseillaise》中的关键作用（1938）。她将这份档案研究与电影中的场景紧密结合起来，揭示了如何将视角的其他变化归因于剪辑师，最终声称在La Marseillaise中，代表社会团体和集体电影制作过程深深地交织在一起。在撰写本文时，这是第一个专门研究玛格丽特·雷诺阿对这部电影的独特贡献的研究。
