The Rules of the Game (1939) Pt. 1 Primer

Vintage Cinema Rewind

May 2 2024 • 37 mins

"The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons." On Vintage Cinema Rewind's first ever Blakeless episode, Jason and Michael come together to discuss Jean Renoir's 1939 French masterpiece, The Rules of the Game. In pre-World War II Paris, adultery is a pleasant romp so long as you abide by a simple rule: don't get caught. But then, one French aviator disrupts the whole system by professing his love for a married woman across the airwaves. As the aristocracy embarks on an affair-laden rabbit hunt in the countryside, can Jason and Michael smooth the whole mess over? Or will they end up caught in the crosshairs?
