One of the very first prison escape movies, Grand Illusion is hoiled as one of the greatest films ever made. Jean Renoir's antiwar masterpiece stars Jean Gobin and Pierre Fresnay as French soldiers held in a World War I German prison camp, and Erich von Stroheim as the unforgettable Captain von Rauffenstein. Following a smash theatrical re-release, criterion is proud to present Grand illusion in a new special edition, with a beautifully restored digital transfer.
