I just saw Renoir's "The Rules of the Game." Everybit the masterpiece that critics say it is. Once the party that takes up most of the second half gets underway, it's a wild ride, and oddly enough, an emotional one. We care about these characters. I know it's probably a cliche comparison, but I saw the film as a better, more visually-oriented version of Gosford Park. Similar narrative material and themes. Very different feel to it. "The Rules of the Game" has that inexplicable emotional power to it that I can't really explain about a lot of movies. Anyway, I'm rambling. See it.
