“Also, this film looks forward to Bunuel’s Diary of a Chambermaid (in the way that outside poilitical stresses show up as violence within a wealthy household)”
And to Renoir’s Diary of a Chambermaid, just about his Billy Wilder movie, Rules played as loudly as possible, with long tracking shots struggling to keep up with the cartoon characters as they gallivant about trying to rape each other and downing drinks on the way. One of my favorite Renoirs, but they all are.
