I Didn’t Get the Rules.
‘The Rules of the Game’ is one of the most important films in the history of the cinema, and it is considered the be one of the greatest achievements in film. Yet, this is one of those masterpieces that flies over my head. I’m not trying to say it was a bad movie, a total waste of time, and completely overrated piece of cinema. No, contrariwise, I found the film to be very entertaining. I enjoyed how the pace kept growing faster and faster, and the love triangles took very unexpected geometrical shapes. The comedy was wonderfully balanced between quite raunchy (considering the time the movie was released) and subtle innuendos. I can understand why this film didn’t get that warm reception upon its release. I liked the cast, and chemistry between them. Characters were multidimensional, a feature that lacks in most modern dramas (not to mention comedies, that seems to be dead genre today). And what about the visual style – how the camera was almost like the part of the cast, it seamlessly moved along with the action. I liked the movie, but unlike most of the cinema aficionados, I didn’t find ‘The Rules of the Game’ that exciting. Fun, and memorable, and something that I probably will watch again when I have the chance, but today, I have to admit – I didn’t get the hype. It didn’t touch me the way to be more than fantastically acted, cleverly written situation comedy.

I’ll rate it seven stars at the moment, but I’m sure that I will give another try some times.

“The awful thing about life is this: Everybody has their reasons.”
A fan of the dazzling Film Noir La Bête Humaine,I was thrilled when my dad gave me auteur Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game for my birthday,which I decided to save for a special viewing. Learning of an ICM poll taking place for the best films of 1939,I decided that this was the perfect time to play the game.

View on the film:

Carrying the title of being one of the greatest films ever made, co- writer/(with Carl Koch) co-star/producer/ directing auteur Jean Renoir (whose son Alain Renoir was one of the cinematographers)gives the film a surprisingly lively atmosphere,with lavish tracking shots spanning the closed-off bourgeois lifestyle.

For what was then the most expensive French film of all time,Renoir puts every penny on screen,with a rich depth of field vision highlighting how detached the guests are from the oncoming shadow of WWII.

Never openly mentioning WWII, (which did not stop the movie from getting banned for “Demoralising” the public) Renoir casts an atmosphere of anxiety across the entire film,from a soulless hunting party shown by the camera running over the grounds as if they are a battlefield,to a chillingly covered in shadows being unable to hide the emotionless state the guests have towards death and murder.

Starting the writing with the play Les Caprices de Marianne a major influence in the background, the screenplay by Renoir and Koch retains stage origins in the dialogue having the smoothness of a Comedy stage play that has turned sour,as the razor sharp punch- lines are turned into arrows dissecting the bourgeois life.

Only writing a third of the screenplay fully (with the rest being a detailed outline that allowed the cast to come up with their own dialogue)the writers and cast mercilessly tear apart the dying days of the bourgeois, in the coiled state that all the characters only care about their own affairs, leaves disruption from the outside world being something they can all dismiss out of hand.

Taking the role after Pierre Renoir had to leave to work on stage and Michel Simon was unable to find a gap from his projects lined up, Jean Renoir gives a marvellous performance as Octave,with a welcoming manner Renoir uses to capture the wickedly satirical mood of the piece.

The woman of every man (and woman’s) dream on the estate, Nora Gregor (who sadly died age 47 in 1949) gives a magnetic performance as Christine,whose masculinity Gregor uses to make Christine the dominate bourgeois on the estate,as the games begin.
