DVD Description
Widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir's masterpiece THE RULES OF THE GAME is a devastating satire of the pre-WWII French aristocracy. Starring Marcel Dalio as wealthy landowner Marquis Robert de la Chesnaye, it charts the shifting relationships among the guests at a weekend hunting party on his vast estate. The guest list includes Robert's mistress Genevieve (Mila Parely), from whom he's trying to part, and Andre Jurieu (Roland Toutain), a famed aviator who is in love with Robert's wife, Christine (Nora Gregor). As they begin a dizzy dance of escape and pursuit, their games are observed and echoed by the servants below the stairs. The gamekeeper Schumacher (Gaston Modot) is trying to keep the poacher, Marceau (Julien Carette), from poaching on his pretty wife, Lisette (Paulette Dubost), unaware that his boss also has his eye on her. The passionate Jurieu, the only guest incapable of the appropriate hypocrisy, finds Christine in an embrace with a random lover (Pierre Nay), and the startled woman decides to leave Robert and go away with the aviator. Renoir's subtle deployment of long tracking shots in multiplanar deep focus reveals the relations of both groups and individuals as he dismantles the rituals of hypocrisy that make this society run smoothly.

Advantages: action, divertissement Disadvantages: un peu court
...Ce film a vraiment réussis a surpassé le vieux film du genre avec Angelina Jolie. ce film mix l'action des films de fusil mais avec l'efficacité des technologies. c'est un tres bon film, Halle Berry, John Travolta et Hug Jackman sont tres fort dans ce film. Ils interpretent super bien leur role et on ne peux pas décrocher de l'action du film a aucun moment. Hug Jackman joue un surdoué du piratage électronique et se fait contacter par John Travolta pour participer a sa rebellion. Hug étant dans le besoin accepte le travail sans se douter que sa vie allait changer du tout au tout. Halle berry, quand a elle, incarne la jolie ginger. une charmante agente fédérale oublier en mission mais tout au long du film le doute persiste sur son camp. Est-elle vraiment une agante ou joue-t-elle la comedie... ?...

Advantages: Interprétation réussie et remarquable, mise en scène féérique, magique, originale et rigoureuse Disadvantages: -
...Lorsqu'on ne peut regarder le soleil en face...... on regarde ses reflets dans l'eau... aurait pu dire notre jolie Satine...telle une prostituée de luxe, qui en principe, ne doit pas céder à la tentation du sentiment amoureux et qui doit renoncer, exclure tout sentiment...
Ainsi peut se comprendre la tragédie de ce film et tout ce qui tourne autour. Pour les rares qui ne connaîtraient pas encore le résumé de cette comédie enchanteresse musicale, c'est l'histoire d'un jeune poète ( maudit? ), Christian, qui rencontre une belle courtisane, de son prénom Satine, et tout deux sont épris l'un de l'autre. Précisons que Christian est amené au Moulin Rouge par une troupe de fanfarons, rencontrée comme par enchantement sur un chemin magique…
L'histoire se déroule dans le Paris du début du siècle et Satine, alias Nicole Kidman a pour...

Advantages: An amazing film. Disadvantages: None in my opinion - subtitles might put some off though (which is a shame)
...is great too, it's all written by Jean-Claude Petit and the theme tune is the 'La Force du Destin' by Giuseppe Verdi - you might recognise it from the Stella Artois adverts. The theme plays for the first five or so minutes whilst you see Ugolin returning from the army to his uncle's house. This is really an introduction to the beautiful surroundings which play such a key role in the film.
The film is in French and contains English subtitles. I know that this instantly puts some people off but I urge you to watch this film regardless. The French that is spoken has a beautiful Provence accent (except for Jean and his family) which made it very interesting to listen to.
The film lasts for 116 minutes and there are no real special features to speak of - only the original theatrical trailer.
It's classified as PG as some scenes 'may be unsuitable...
