neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Jean Renoir's 1939 French satirical comedy-drama The Rules of the Game (La règle du jeu). #FilmSky This film is a rife with Orientalism (rich French people in the 1930's) but the Tyrolean dance performed by the hosts in costume blends Germanic, Austrian, and Italian influences. It's cool.

neutral · AI labelView post →Trouble in Paradise is reaching the point where it starts to vie with The Rules of the Game, Casablanca, and Holiday for the title of my favorite movie. The vast majority of days, Rules of the Game holds that spot. But catch me on another and it could be any of those.
positive · AI labelView post →#MovieMadness Day 18. Your favorite foreign language movie La Règle Du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) is packed full of romance (farce?), drama, and scathing satire. An absolute treat.
positive · AI labelView post →Went to see the most timely old movie tonight at @voguetheatersf.bsky.social, "The Rules of the Game." A beautifully orchestrated comedy with the top talent of the day, filmed as the Nazis were dismantling Europe. A sad context for an elegant comedy. "Kiss me. On the mouth, like a lover."

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight on TCM #TCM THE RULES OF THE GAME (1939) I'm often asked what my favorite film of all time is. The answer is always this one, Jean Renoir's masterpiece. More timely now than ever. A biting satire of the upper class that never loses its love of humanity. Essential viewing.
positive · AI labelView post →The Rules of the Game—which, obliquely, has some things to say about the same, then-still-developing situation—is my favorite movie. But Casablanca is the movie I point it to say, This is why we do this. This is the pinnacle of craft, art, and purpose.
positive · AI labelView post →With the character Octave and his performance in “The Rules of the Game,” (La Règle du jeu)Jean Renoir virtually assured the film’s “failure in its own time while assuring its place in the future.” On the enduring power of Renoir’s 1939 film. It's Le Nozze di Figaro on film.

neutral · AI labelView post →When I was in college, one of my professors told me that "The Rules of the Game" was the second-greatest film ever made and "The Grand Illusion" was the best. They certainly should rank high on any list of whatever length. (which reminds me that I need to rewatch both, as I regularly do)

Brilliant performances by Marcel Dalio and Renoir himself. A great, great film made all the greater by Renoir's love of the characters he satirizes. Essential viewing. 🎥

More movies should strive to be as good. It’s literally the only film I will not blanche about that. Like, RIO BRAVO is Hollywood masterpiece.

Sure there is some pioneering film photography techniques going on and maybe character development. It’s not enough to make me force myself to suffer through this snooze fest.

And then you have stuff like Roar, a movie made with good intentions of lion conservation but endangered the cast and crew by having them interact with big cats who aren't housepets. 3/

I reluctantly canceled my DVD Dot Com A Netflix Company subscription after too many undelivered and lost discs, but I still remember first signing up in 2007 and going crazy adding Criterion discs to my queue. First movie: The Rules of the Game, and I was off to the races.

neutral · AI labelView post →When I was at uni, my philosophy of film lectuerer at one point fairly confidently said that "The Rules of the Game (1939) is the best movie of all time". I, understandably, doubted that. Then I watched it, and 100 years later it still holds up. That reputation is justified.
