The Rules of the Game

In Mozart's time a farce ended with the couples reunited after a wild night. In Renoir's time a Mozart inspired farce ends with pointless death, pointless coupling, lies, and the surviving protagonists caring as little as they do over the death of a rabbit drummed up by the servants for a ritual hunt. Visually astonishing, one of the greatest uses of depth of field shots for complex storytelling as opposed to showiness. Oh and it's funny as hell!
