La grande illusione (1937)
Scene da un campo di prigionia tedesco durante la Grande Guerra. Un ufficiale francese di origine aristocratica si sacrifica per favorire la fuga di due suoi subalterni di origine popolare. Specchio del francese è il tedesco comandante del campo, anch'egli di vecchio stampo, minato nel fisico e nel morale. Entrambi incarnano un mondo destinato a scomparire mentre i fuggiaschi sono metafora della nuova società. Capolavoro del cinema antimilitarista, manifesto malinconico e pacifista di una generazione in via di estinzione.
