Considered one of the greatest fiIms ever made, Jean Renoir’s The RuIes 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 fiIm 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 ll; it wasn’t reconstructed untiI 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here.
