The Rules of the Game

At a time when war clouds were gathering ominously over Europe Renoir presented this masterpiece to the world, a satiric country house comedy that mocked the class system. He orchestrated a large cast magnificently and even cast himself in one of the pivotal roles. It caused outrage on release and was soon re-edited before being banned and was only re-assembled years later. It's hilarious, melancholic and brilliant..

    Hi, good to hear from you! No, I haven't got round to watching it yet. I'm working my way through a Douglas Sirk box-set at the moment and finding them fascinating. Fassbinder loved Sirk so I thought I'd try him out! As a Stanwyck fan, have you seen Sirk's All I Desire and There's Always Tomorrow? I'd recommend both highly! PS. I'll let you know what I think of the Yamanaka, hope to get to it soon!
