Featuring: Henri Marchand, Raymond Cordy, Rolla France, Paul Ollivier, Jacques Shelly, Germaine Aussey
One of the all-time comedy classics, René Clair’s À nous la liberté tells the story of Louis, an escaped convict who becomes a wealthy industrialist. Unfortunately, his past returns (in the form of old jail pal Emile) to upset his carefully laid plans. Featuring lighthearted wit, tremendous visual innovation, and masterful manipulation of sound, À nous la liberté is both a potent indictment of mechanized modern society and an uproarious comic delight.

Release Notes on Restoration
A nous la liberte
À nous la liberté is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. This new digital transfer was created from a 35mm composite fine-grain master. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit; audio restoration tools were used to reduce pops, hiss, and crackle.
