The Rules of the Game

Jean Renoir · 1939 CE · Film · French · Modernist

An aviator lands in Paris a national hero and announces on the radio that the woman he made the flight for did not come to meet him. Her husband, her admirers and a houseful of servants with entanglements of their own decamp to a country estate for a shooting weekend. A civilization dancing on its grave.
