Movie Reviews of The Rules of the Game - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A film often found in critics' alltime-best lists, The Rules of the Game may be a bit too slowly paced for the average filmgoer but it offers a wealth of drama and incisive satire for the more patient viewer: it's a must-watch for cinephiles, but casual film fans might do better to look elsewhere.
Summary of The Rules of the Game - Criterion Collection
Jean Renoir's 1939 classic is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, and Criterion is very proud to present the film in a special two-disc edition. Cloaked in a comedy of manners, this scathing critique of corrupt French society is about a weekend hunting party at which amorous escapades abound among the aristocratic guests-which are also mirrored by the activities of the servants downstairs. The refusal of one of the guests to play by society's rules sets off a chain of events that ends in tragedy.Art House & International DVD Video
