THE RULES OF THE GAME (La règle du jeu)

Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir’s The Rules
of the Game is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked
in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’s country château
lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut-bourgeois acquaintances. The
film has had a tumultuous history: subjected to cuts after the violent response
of the audience at its 1939 premiere, and the original negative was destroyed
during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. (1939, 106 mins)
