La Regle Du Jeu - Blu-Ray

Jean Renoir, the director of "La Règle du jeu" (The Rules of the Game), is one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history. Known for his humanistic approach and innovative techniques, Renoir's work often explores social and moral themes. This 1939 film is considered one of his masterpieces.

The film is a satirical comedy-drama that depicts the lives of the French upper class and their servants just before World War II. Set during a weekend hunting party at a country estate, it reveals the characters' romantic entanglements, moral failings, and the rigid social structures they navigate. The narrative critiques the superficiality and decadence of the bourgeoisie.

"La Règle du jeu" was initially met with controversy and banned in France but has since been hailed as one of the greatest films ever made. It was restored in 1956 and has consistently ranked among the top films in Sight & Sound's critics' polls.
