Set amid the military maneuvers and Quatorze Juillet carnivals of turn-of-the-century France, Jean Renoir’s delirious romantic comedy Elena and her Men stars a radiant Ingrid Bergman as a beautiful, but impoverished, Polish princess who drives men of all stations to fits of desperate love. When Elena elicits the fascination of a famous general, she finds herself at the center of romantic machinations and political scheming, with the hearts of several men—as well as the future of France—in her hands.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A radiant, fizzing romantic comedy that dances through Belle Époque Paris with theatrical delight, balancing the exuberance of carnival chaos against the delicate emotional stakes of desire and social climbing. Renoir spins the competition for Elena's affection into a buoyant meditation on the gap between the heart's wishes and the world's expectations.
