Event overview
Another Sight and Sound regular from Jean Renoir, son of the painter, in a country house comedy portrait of a nation
La Règle du jeu (1939, Jean Renoir). The last of Renoir's masterpieces from the Popular Front period in France is an ensemble cast country house weekend somewhere between tragedy and farce, a portrait of a country and a class tearing itself apart immediately before the nazi invasion. Renoir plays Octave, his brother was cinematographer, the whole thing has the sense of improvisation, and yet also of a near perfect classical symmetry. Famed for its deep-focus cinematography and staging, its long takes of complex action, a favourite of Bazin, Truffault and many more.
