Renoir's fantasy about a strait-laced academic, a candidate for the presidency of a United Europe, who loses his strait-lacing at a would-be formal picnic which somehow turns into a wonderful saturnalia. It's a loosely constructed, even undisciplined work, but it throws off philosophical sparks like a Catherine wheel - or like a Bernard Shaw play. Lovely photography and suitably delicate performances from a cast which is, of course, impeccably directed by the Master.
