  • "A comedic contrast between the affairs of the French aristocracy and the working class at a weekend house party."
  • "Een vliegenier is naar Frankrijk gekomen omdat hij verliefd is op een Oostenrijkse, vrouw van een markies. Zij heeft echter niet de moeite genomen naar het vliegveld te komen. Een bittere tragikomedie die het einde van een tijdperk aankondigt en het begin van Wereldoorlog II."
  • "Denigrated by the public, vilified by the critics, re-cut at the insistence of its producers, and finally banned by the French government as demoralising and unpatriotic, La regle du jeu was a commercial disaster at the time of its original release. On the surface, a series of interlinked romantic intrigues taking place at a weekend shooting party in a country chateau, the film is in fact a study of the corruption and decay within French society on the eve of the outbreak of World War II. Its reputation firmly restored, Renoir's brilliant comedy is now widely recognized as one of the greatest films ever made."
  • ""The plot involves three interlinked emotional triangles. Andre Jurieux, an aviator, loves Christine, wife of the Marquuis de la Chesnaye. La Chesnaye, for his part, is having a covert affair with the socialite Genevieve. Ghesnay's gamekeeper, Shumacher, is violently jealous of his wife Lisette, Christine's maid, whom he suspects of dallying with poacher-turned valet Marceau. Around them hovers the jocular, uneasy figure of Octave (played by Renoir himself), mediator, confidant and go-between, welcome everywhere and at home nowhere. During a weekend at La Chesnaye's chateau all these intrigues bubble over into confusion, chaos and finally tragedy" -- Container."
  • ""L'aviateur André Jurieu vient de traverser l'Atlantique en solitaire pour conquérir le coeur de Christine, son amour éternel, qui a épousé le Marquis de la Chesnay, un aristocrate parisien. Celle-ci se montrant indifférente à l'exploit, Durieu tente alors de se suicider. Son ami Octave le fait alors inviter chez Christine et son riche époux, pour une partie de chasse en Sologne..."

  • "Social commentary about the decadence of the upper classes in pre-war France."

  • "At a weekend shooting party at a chateau, a bedroom farce ensues, with lovers and adulterers, masters and servants, playing out the morally bankrupt rules of the game. A scathing indictment of French society on the eve of World War II."

  • "Home use only."
  • "Complicated love intrigues among the high society guests at a weekend house party outside Paris are mirrored by parallel activities among the servants, showing the illness of a society locked into frivolous and futile social games."@en
  • "A scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners, in which a weekend at a marquis's countryside chateau lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haute bourgeois acquaintances. The film was a victim of tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after premiere audiences rejected it in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II. It wasn't reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here."
  • "Set during a weekend chateau party and involving adultery, mistaken identities, and a crime of passion, this film reveals an extraordinary understanding of human nature."
  • "Tells of the amorality above and below stairs at a country house weekend illustrating pre-war French decadence. Recognised as one of the greatest films ever made."
  • "Renoir's portrayal of a weekend house party in the country. A sketch of pre-WWII French society."
  • "Comédie dramatique. Un comte veut rompre avec sa maîtresse pour conserver sa femme que courtise un aviateur. Une chasse en Sologne, suivie d'une fête, voit les intrigues amoureuses des domestiques se mêler à celles de leurs maîtres. La jalousie d'un garde-chasse finit par provoquer un drame. Contient, entre autres, une introduction du réalisateur, un documentaire sur la première partie de la carrière de Renoir (jusqu'en 1939), un essai sur le contexte de la réalisation du film, les commentaires du critique de cinéma Alexander Sesonske ainsi que des entrevues avec le décorateur Max Douy, la comédienne Mila Parély et Alain Renoir, le fils du cinéaste."
  • "A rich marquis organizes a weekend house party at his country chateau that is attended by his mistress, an old friend, and a pilot, the lover of the marquis' wife. The complicated love intrigues among the high society guests are mirrored by parallel activities among the servants."
  • "A comedy-drama set on the eve of World War II, the film contrasts the affairs of the French aristocracy and the working class at a weekend party."
  • "Long banned in France, La Regle du jeu frankly delineates the erotic charades of the French leisured class before World War II. Renoir mordantly satirizes the social and sexual mores of a decadent society near collapse. A count organizes a weekend shooting party which results in complex love intrigues among servants as well as masters."
  • "Esta crítica cáustica de sociedad corrupta francesa en el cual las aventuras amorosas abundan entre los invitados aristocráticos, que también son reflejados por las actividades de los criados."
  • "Les jeux de l'amour et du hasard au cours d'une chasse en Sologne, suivie d'une réception, chez un châtelain. Les intrigues des domestiques se calquent sur celles des maîtres et la fête dégénère en drame."

  • "A satire on the decadence of the pre-World War II French aristocracy, depicting a social world where pleasure is the prize, where intrigue, guile and the lack of honesty are part of the "rules" of a dying class. Unpopular at its first release on the eve of World War II, the film was withdrawn and suppressed until the late 1950s, when a complete print was found and restored with Jean Renoir's blessing."
  • "La Règle du Jeu unfolds at a weekend shooting party at the château of Robert de la Chesnaye and his wife Christine, where the guests include Robert?s mistress Genevieve, and André, an aviator who is in love with Christine. An upstairs downstairs bedroom farce ensues, with lovers and adulterers, masters and servants, playing out the morally bankrupt rules of the game. While the original negative was destroyed during the War, this fully restored print finally allows cinema lovers to savour the genius of Jean Renoir?s cinematic masterwork."@en
  • "Renoir's portrayal of a weekend house party in the country is, in effect, the portrayal of a society in crisis, a social world in which there are rules but no values. On the surface the film is a comedy of manners based on the tradition of 18th century French theatre."
  • "Widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir's masterpiece "The Rules of the Game" is a scathing critique of corrupt pre-war French society cloaked in a comedy of manners. At a weekend hunting holiday at a secluded mansion, amorous escapades abound among the aristocratic guests and are 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. Poorly received upon its release in 1939, the film was severely cut, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II. Only in 1959 was the film fully reconstructed and embraced by audiences and critics who now see the film as a timeless representation of a vanishing way of life."
  • "SUMMARY: 'Renoir chose the form of a classical eighteenth-century French comedy for this story of a society on the brink of collapse on the eve of World War II. Marcel Dalio plays the Marquis, Robert de la Chesnaye, who hosts a weekend's festivities at his country chateau. Among the invited guests are Andr ÌŒJurieu, the dashing pilot who adores la Chesnaye's wife, Christine, and Octave, the melancholy, cynical clown who never quite fits into this bourgeous world. The weekend passes in a flurry of romantic intrigue, with a spectacular ftÌŠe, a disturbingly beautiful rabbit hunt, and a murder. 'My ambition,' wrote Renoir, 'was to illustrate this remark: We are dancing on a volcano.'' (SFSU)"
  • "Alla vigilia della seconda guerra mondiale, una giovane viennese sposata ad un aristocratico francese provoca una tempesta di passione che fa saltare tutte le regole sociali."
  • "Denigrated by the public, vilified by the critics, re-cut at the insistence of its producers, and finally banned by the French government as "demoralising" and unpatriotic, "La Règle du jeu" was a commercial disaster at the time of its original release.

  • "Un aviateur accomplit un raid pour conquérir l'amour d'une femme qui est mariée. Son périple accompli, il proclame son désespoir à la radio, sa bien-aimée n'y étant pas pour l'accueillir. Le mari de cette dernière, ayant entendu cette déclaration, décide de rompre avec sa propre maîtresse. Mais il se recuse devant les supplications de celle-ci. Des amours illégitimes se nouent.

Film classique français interdit pendant la seconde guerre mondiale."
  • "A drama produced in France in 1939 shows the illnesses of a society locked into frivolous and futile social games."
  • "Dramatizes a weekend at a marquis's countryside château, where the rich and their servants gather, and which exposes some ugly truths about a group of haute bourgeois acquaintances in the early days of World War II."
  • "Considered one of the greatest films ever made, The Rules of the Game (La règle du jeu), by Jean Renoir, is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis' country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the premiere audience in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II."
  • "A group of French aristocrats, gathering for a weekend of decadence and self-indulgence just before World War II, becomes a metaphor for human folly under siege."
  • "L'aviateur, André Jurieux, a pris au sérieux un caprice de Christine de La Chesnaye. Dépité, le mari de Christine, Robert, s'avise de reconquérir sa femme et de rompre avec sa maîtresse.Un ami commun, Octave s'arrange pour faire inviter Jurieux à la "Colinière"."
  • "A comedy drama set on the eve of World War II. It contrasts the affairs of the French aristocracy and the working class at a weekend house party. Masters and their servants are involved in an immoral erotic charade that builds to a shattering climax."
  • "Renoir's portrayal of a weekend house party in the country is, in effect, the portrayal of a society in crisis, a social world in which there are rules but no values. On the surface the film is a comedy of manners based on the tradition of 18th century French theatre. Its richness lies in the contrast between ambiguity and clarity, the elaborate parallelisms between groups and specific characters and a pathbreaking melange of stylistic techniques. Renoir ironically exposes the moral bankruptcy of this world while remaining consistent to the model of classical theatre in his deployment of closure. The film's influence lies in Renoir's modernism. In portraying life-as-flux he juxtaposes what in his hands are formal devices for openness (mobile camera, depth of field, use of off-screen space) with the closure of classical narrative implied by, for example, shot-counter-shot editing."
  • "A count organises a weekend shooting party which results in complex love intrigues among servants as well as masters."
