Film Information:

La Règle du jeu (The Rules of the Game) is a 1939 French film directed by Jean Renoir. It is Renoir's look at bourgeois life in France at the onset of World War II. An assorted cast of characters - the rich and their poor servants - meet up at a French chateau.

The film was initially condemned for its satire on the French upper classes and was greeted with derision by a Parisian crowd on its première. The French government banned it in 1939 due to its depiction of the French upper class. Lucky for us it was re-released after World War II.

You'll want to make time in your schedule for this film, it is often listed in the top 5 greatest films ever made.
