Disillusioned with the Hollywood system, Feyder returned to France in 1933. During the next three years he made three of his most successful films, all of them in collaboration with screenwriter Charles Spaak and featuring Françoise Rosay in a leading role. "Le Grand Jeu" (1934) and "Pension Mimosas" (1935) were both significant creations in the style of poetic realism; "La Kermesse héroïque" (1935) (also known as "Carnival in Flanders") was a meticulously staged period film which aroused some contemporary political resonances; it earned Feyder several international awards.
