France/1939—directed by Jean Renoir |106 minutes

Considered one of the greatest movies ever made. The plot—a weekend gathering at a chateau where a group of guests come together ostensibly for a pleasant getaway—is a subtle, scathing portrayal of class and social hypocrisy, as well as a groundbreaking visual masterpiece. François Truffaut called The Rules of the Game “the film of films.” 

In French with English subtitles. 

“As fresh, funny and poignant as it ever was, and even more mysterious. How did Renoir do it?” –J. Hoberman, The New York Times
