Pros: above average video and audio, a miracle in and of itself; a masterpiece
Cons: nothing worth noting

Jean Renoir’s scathing social satire of the French bourgeoisie prior to the outbreak of World War II makes The Rules of the Game one of the world’s great movie masterpieces. With indelible characters from both upper and lower classes who intermingle tellingly and superbly blocked and shot sequences which reveal realistically and symbolically the rotten core of the society under the director’s microscope, The Rules of the Game has more than earned its celebrated reputation after it was booed and whistled off the screen in some of its initial French cinematic engagements.
