Actor Paul Meurisse, in a white suit, is caught in a scene of boisterous disarray during the filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” in 1959. At Les Collettes, Auguste Renoir’s former home in Cagnes-sur-Mer, mechanical wind devices were used to simulate the mistral, turning a lively picnic into a catastrophe. The wooded setting is filled with motion as the cast reacts with animated gestures of surprise to the manufactured storm.
