Catherine & Co.

Renoir's directorial debut, a silent film. The lead actress is quite plain, and the plot is ordinary.

Silent film.

Renoir01: Experimented a lot with technique in this debut, the score is too sleepy.

Considered by many to be one of Renoir's weakest films, and even admitted by the director himself to offer little beyond Catherine Hessling's performance, *Catherine & Co.* demonstrates that even masters are capable of self-awareness.
