Paul Meurisse (white suit) during filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” at the Auguste Renoir house "Les Collettes". With the aid of mechanical wind devices a tempest, the mistral, turns the déjeuner into catastrophe. Cagnes-sur-Mer 1959.
At Auguste Renoir's house "Les Collettes" in Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1959, a picnic descends into catastrophe during the filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe.” Actor Paul Meurisse, in the white suit, joins the cast in reacting to a tempestuous mistral simulated by mechanical wind devices. The participants display animated expressions, holding down hats and shielding their faces from the wind as the pastoral lunch dissolves into boisterous, theatrical commotion amongst the gnarled trees.
