A bumpy and hunting weekend at the country palace of the marquis Robert de la Cheyniest reveals the dreadful truth about a well-known upper bourgeoisie group of people. An exponent of French poetic realism, La règle du jeu is a stinging critique of the moral corruption of French society shrouded in a comedy of manners. Harshly criticized in its premiere, the feature is considered today to be one of the best films of all times. A film that, as per François Truffaut, “embraces all cinema”.
