Etienne Alexis, a candidate for president of the new Europe, is a scientist promoting artificial insemination for social betterment and therapy to eliminate passion. His wealthy household (his family owns chemical corporations that will profit from his ideas) is stiff, intellectual, and sterile. To celebrate his engagement to a German cousin, he hosts an aseptic picnic, where mother nature asserts herself. A shepherd's flute conjures a windstorm that throws Alexis together with the luscious Nénette, a farm lass who wants to have a baby but is unimpressed with men. (IMDb)
Picnic on the Grass is one of the last, neglected, and little-known works of the great French director Jean Renoir (The Rules of the Game). This enchanting farce is definitely an old man's film. It's both assured and doddering, sensual and droll, but above all, wise. A pedantic biologist (Paul Meurisse), an enthusiastic proponent of artificial insemination, waves good-bye to science when he comes upon an innocent and voluptuous country girl (Catherine Rouvel) swimming naked in a lake. She loosens him up, and in the battle between science and nature-reason and feeling — guess which one comes out on top? Renoir shot the film on the estate of his father, the painter Pierre-Auguste, and it's as beautiful as it is giddy, like a second childhood. (Entertainment Weekly)
