Rules of the Game

Jean Renoir, 1939

wex grid image fill

Regarded by many as among a handful of the greatest films ever made, Rules of the Game is Renoir's biting critique of French society set during a weekend hunting party at a country estate. By brilliantly mirroring the intrigue among the aristocracy upstairs with the lives of the servants downstairs, Renoir captures the complexities of a pre–World War II way of life that was about to end. (106 mins., 35mm)
