(LE RÈGLE DU JEU, Jean Renoir, France 1939, 106 min., French with subtitles, 35mm)

Continually heralded as one of the ten greatest films in the history of the cinema, Renoir’s bittersweet comedy about class distinction was originally banned for being too critical of French society. The multi-character story revolves around the guests gathered for a weekend of partying and hunting at a country chateau. A newly restored 35mm print will be shown.
