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.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The fact that Jean Renoir was its director is the ultimate oddity. How this fiasco could have happened is difficult to explain.
– Bosley Crowther,

rotten:
Bergman's signature elegance remains the only enduring element of Renoir's light-hearted confection.
– Scott Tobias,

fresh:
What's interesting is the way that Renoir preserves a strong erotic and romantic thread (the love between Bergman and Ferrer) all the way through the movie's farcical elements.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
The film is ravishing to look at (with Ingrid Bergman radiant at its center), and its mid-80s 35-millimeter restoration is a sumptuous treat indeed.
– Pat Graham,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Fantasy, yes, but hardly escapist in the astonishing pertinence with which it reduces the hawkish military and political ambitions of the day to derisory farce while demonstrating the infallibility with which love goes on making the world go round.
