LA BÊTE HUMAINE (The Human Beast, Jean Renoir, F 1938; with Jean Gabin, Jan. 5, 12 and 19). The one "beast" is the railroad engineer Jacques Lantier, played by Gabin, who travels the route Le Havre-Paris with his locomotive "Lison". Looking after his beloved engine prescribes a rhythm that defines his life. In his private life, he has fits – "thick smoke rising to the head", and is forced to commit murder. The other beast is a jealous husband. His violence is motivated, that of the other apparently not. In between a woman – and views of trains and tracking shots on brute locomotives as they have never before appeared on screen. Three times a month with three different support-ing films and introductions. (Heinz Emigholz)
