In Jean Renoir’s classic 1938 film, a famed aviator has fallen in love with the wife of a marquis, who’s got mistress troubles of his own. It’s complicated enough when in Paris, but then the marquis invites all to a shooting party at his chateau–with the gamekeeper, a local poacher and the wife’s maid adding their own below-stairs triangle. We are pleased to be showing the restored print recently featured at the New York Film Festival. Playing with the lightest of touches yet stinging like the greatest of tragedies, THE RULES OF THE GAME has come to be regarded as one of the finest movies ever made. Post-film event: Film critic Kenneth Turan will discuss the film after the Friday 6:15 show. Sponsored by Johnson State College. Community Partner: Chronique Francophone. No rating, 110 minutes, in French with subtitles. Review
