剧情简介：Although it appears to be more naturalistic than THE HUMAN PYRAMID, the PORTRAIT DE MICHEL SIMON PAR JEAN RENOIR OU PORTRAIT DE JEAN RENOIR PAR MICHEL SIMON OU LA DIRECTION D'ACTEURS: DIALOGUE episode of JEAN RENOIR LE PATRON makes similarly sophisticated use of audiovisual montage to activate the different resonances of the footage, creating a portrait whose deceptively complex form mirrors that of its subject. Large portions of the film depict director Jean Renoir and his former actor Michel Simon talking about various matters in real time on a particular day. The roving camera generally stays close to them, but it also moves around the table at various points, capturing interviewer-director Rivette, some of the camera equipment, and other people present in the same space. While the earthy conversation of Renoir and Simon is engrossing, the viewer is never allowed to forget that this seemingly casual encounter between friends is mediated by the director and crew, and the final film includes shots of clapboards, of someone putting a hand over the camera lens, and even of a blank screen as the camera battery is reloaded. Even more pronounced intervention occurs as sequences from films Renoir and Simon made together are inserted at unexpected moments. There are no clear transitions separating these excerpts from the main body of the film, and the sound from the conversation continues over (or at least bleeds into) the clips, creating a dialogue between remembered, lived, and represented experiences, which become increasingly intertwined as the film progresses.
