About
One of the greatest films ever made, The Rules of the Game is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners, as a weekend of goings-on at a country château riles a group of haut-bourgeois acquaintances. Subjected to cuts after the violent response at its premiere, the negative was destroyed during World War II, and wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. The film currently sits at #13 on the 2022 Sight & Sound list of best movies of all time, though it spent decades at #3; They Shoot Pictures Don’t They has it at #5.
