The Rules of the Game

19391 hr 46 min

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: it was 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. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here.

Starring Marcel Dalio, Nora Gregor, Roland Toutain, Jean Renoir, Mila Parély
