Renoir's famous and controversial comedy of manners has a troubled history. Victor Perkins presents here a sensitive socio-historical study of Renoir's revised edition of the film, released 20 years after its premiere; shaped by the profundity and originality of its form.
Jean Renoir's La Regle du Jeu must be the nearest thing in cinema to an undisputed masterpiece, a movie universally cherished by critics and film-lovers, central to the work of film theorists, and revered by filmmakers as varied as Alain Resnais, Paul Schrader and Cameron Crowe.
This study relates the history of Jean Renoir's La Regle du Jeu to the profundity and originality of its form. The film is analysed as an anguished comedy whose characters are all, in Renoir's words, "dancing on a volcano", unable to resist the slide towards catastrophe.
