The Southerner (1945) is a powerful Jean Renoir drama about a poor Texas sharecropper family determined to make their first year farming their own land succeed, despite drought, illness, a hostile neighbor, and the constant grinding pressure of poverty. One of the most honest portraits of rural American life ever filmed.
