路易·茹韦

　　根据高尔基话剧改编，但故事从俄国搬到了法国。一个贵族因境遇所迫，放弃奢华的生活，搬进巴黎贫民窟，见证了社会底层的“暗无天日”，其中有房东的乖戾、一个想当演员者梦想的破灭，还有年轻人的恋爱。

　　Released in France as La Kermesse Heroique, Carnival in Flanders is set during the long-ago war between the Dutch and Spanish. A tiny village in Flanders is invaded by Spanish troops. The townsfolk have heard of Spanish cruelties in other towns, and decide to deflect the vanquishers by playing dead. This isn't terribly effective (you have to take a breath once in a while), so the wife of the burgomaster tries to soften up the invaders with a lavish carnival. So successful is this venture that the Spaniards allow the village to escape being decimated, or even taxed. An award-winner many times over, Carnival in Flanders was banned in Germany; evidently, Goebbels caught on that director Jacques Feyder and scenarists Bernard Zimmer and Charles Spaak were drawing deliberate parallels between the Spanish and the then-burgeoning Nazis.
