Nana is a 1926 French silent drama film directed by Jean Renoir and starring Catherine Hessling, Werner Krauss and Jean Angelo. It was Renoir's second full-length film and is based on the 1880 novel by Émile Zola.

Production

The film stars Renoir's wife, Catherine Hessling, in an eccentric performance as the flawed heroine Nana.

Jean Renoir's film is a somewhat truncated adaptation of Émile Zola's classic novel. The film's extravagances include two magnificent set pieces – a horse race and an open air ball. The film never made a profit, and the commercial failure of the film robbed Renoir of the opportunity to make such an ambitious film again for several years.

In his memoir, My Life and My Films, Renoir writes that Nana was a frenzied undertaking with a budget of one million francs, not counting the German contribution, which was huge at the time. He was convinced that the film could hardly fail from a commercial point of view and that Nana would be his way to break the barrier of commercial cinema. Nana got a tremendous world premiere that he had prepared with a torrent of publicity.
