Not a scene is wasted in this film. Every shot has meaning behind it. Every scene is fresh and entertaining, and reveals some new, deeper meaning upon each viewing. It is a funny, light comedy of manners on its surface, but it really is a metaphor for a larger set of social values that were fast becoming extinct as WWII loomed. And it's about the complex desires and mystery of the human heart.
Even though it's widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever (probably only Citizen Kane can equal it) it's still SO unappreciated and underrated by many. Truly a monumental achievment. What a fitting trailer!
We had the history behind Jean Renoir's 'The Rules of the Game' and Orson Welles' 'Citizen Kane' and how they made a revolution of film making by using extra lights to capture the secondary image clearly. I thought it was pretty interesting and now I'm contemplating on having a 30's and 40's movies marathon.
The piano song at 0:54 is called "Bach-analia," and is by myself, Martin Lass. It's a modern re-imagining of Bach's famous Prelude in C minor. I'll be posting the whole song on my UA-cam channel in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! :-)

I cant get over how great this trailer is! SO excited about this movie! One of the greatest pitties in movies is that this movie hasnt been seen by more people.
I just don’t get it. I don’t see the point of what makes this movie great. It’s just really obnoxious. It’s the most obnoxious movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
I can only think of five or six films that come close:the embittered, racist cowboy searching for his niece, the Russian monk torn between Art and God, the Italian director trying to finish his ninth movie, the cop with fear of heights, the septet of Japanese warriors, and the newspaper tycoon. Runners up and honorable mentions include a British ballerina, a guy singing in a rainstorm, an overweight, self-hating boxer, a very big Italian family and its business, a social climbing Irish adventurer, a British officer leading Arabs against Turks, an aging Italian aristocrat coming to terms with the end of his world and his own mortality, a great, little known, American film about an old couple and their kids, a famous Japanese film about the same subject. an American western about the last adventure of two old cowboys, a film that combines a portrayal of the creation of the universe and a portrait of a Texas family in the fifties, a British film noir about an American writer of pulp western fiction trying to solve a mystery in a city of mysteries, another famous Japanese film about two peasant couples during a time of civil war, a screwball comedy about a Hollywood director masquerading as a street bum, a film about an amoral industrialist saving Jews during the holocaust, one about a guy on the verge of suicide who is rescued by an angel, a costume drama about an aristocratic French Lady who pawns her earrings, and finally, one of the few truly adult films ever made by the Hollywood studio system, a movie about a retired industrialist, his frivolous wife, and their adventures in Europe. That is my idiosyncratic top twenty five.
Joseph Harder that was great fun!! Ha ha. I think there's one, maybe two, I don't know there. Very pleased with myself that I got the vast majority! Personally I'd have to add the one with the black rectangular object to your original half-dozen. I'd also add to your twenty-five, the one where a Northern lad befriends a kestrel, also the one where a Swedish academic re-assesses his life while on a car journey and maybe even the one where the good guy makes the ugly guy dig a hole. :)
I watched The Rules of the Game in the wee small hours of the morning today. My 2nd time (I'd seen it once before years ago). Now I can't stop thinking about it! Absolutely incredible. Jean Renoir's performance as Octave was wonderful. He's my favorite person in this film. Some of his expressions/mannerisms reminded me a bit of Philip Seymour Hoffman. haha I also greatly enjoyed Jean Renoir's introduction to the film on the Criterion Collection DVD. What a gem. :)
What is the title "Rule of the game"? It's following your desires. What does it lead to? Utter moral confusion, random outbursts of violence and an endless profusion of new fleeting desires.
I really like the intertitles of this trailer, but I think all the transitions between the intertitles and the movie clips are too fast-paced for this film.
But we don't say that in English, we say "the rules of the game." And in French they use the singular. Funny how languages don't translate literally...
Renoir is one of the most influential director to ever live. He's the kind of guy that people still take shots and ideas from. Bet you could find some at least indirect Renoir influence from even a film like the 'The Assault". As different and far away from Renoir as possible. bitly. com / G L p u Lb

I don't get why this film is so critically acclaimed. Contrived and pretentious, it's basically a dull farce until the third act where it gets excessively tragic and maudlin. And predictable.
Well, some also people think that The Maids of Honor is an over-rated painting, or that Johnny Cash Live At San Quentin is an over rated album. There is a word for such people. In fact, there are several words, the most polite of which is jerks.
A very good trailer. The film itself is talky, boring and full of unsympathetic characters. Women are constantly objectified (in one scene alone, two are carried off to their rooms to "calm them down"). It was actually booed when released but because it was "rediscovered" and praised by a few critics decades later for its display of decadence so misplaced at the precipice of defeat in war, it has gained a reputation that has fed off of itself. Had it been released a few years earlier or later, such a juxtaposition would not have occurred.

This films is more modern than most films made in the last 20 years.

"The Rules of the Game taught me the rules of the game"
Great trailer, it really focuses on those wonderful little mysterious moments which make this movie rich.
I cant get over how great this trailer is! SO excited about this movie! One of the greatest pitties in movies is that this movie hasnt been seen by more people.
Great quote by Altman in the trailer, while I was watching this film I couldn't stop thinking in Gosford Park, now I can see why.
This movie is insane. That’s a reason it is so good.
You bet it is! One of a kind! No way to pigeonhole this film into a single genre or category.
I just don’t get it. I don’t see the point of what makes this movie great. It’s just really obnoxious. It’s the most obnoxious movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
@@DinoZombieVA why
This was an excellent film! Ahead of its time.
I had to watch this trailer NOW I have to absolutely watch it AGAIN. I cannot bring myself to tell you how many times I've seen this.
Maybe the greatest film ever made
what do you think of Jean renoir films?
Some of the greatest ever created. The Rules of the Game and La Grande Illusion especially
Nick Bernier not maybe

Now that you mention it, Jean Renoir even resembles a bit the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.
hi do you know where I can find this film now (with English subtitles)??I really want to watch it
I’m about to watch this movie for the first time
Anyone realize there's no dislikes? Who could?
So we're living in a world where free opinions are punished with insults. Fantastic.

What's the name of the piano song 0:54?
super la film
I really like the intertitles of this trailer, but I think all the transitions between the intertitles and the movie clips are too fast-paced for this film.
@SneakyxLlama Sure, but don't you think a trailer should correspond to what the film is actually like?
grande
I never understood why the english title is plural while the original title isn't. La règle du jeu should be translated to The Rule of the Game.
But we don't say that in English, we say "the rules of the game." And in French they use the singular. Funny how languages don't translate literally...
Interesting though.
And you ? What are you ? A winner ????

The Rules of the Game is one of the most overrated films of all time.
Well, some also people think that The Maids of Honor is an over-rated painting, or that Johnny Cash Live At San Quentin is an over rated album. There is a word for such people. In fact, there are several words, the most polite of which is jerks.
If you have zero understanding of cinema, you might think so.
@@JHarder1000 johny cash live at saint quentin is definetely an overrated album
