THE RULES OF THE GAME

French Moyenne (22.5" x 30.5"); Country-of-Origin
Very Fine+ on Linen; Artwork by Georges Dastor
DPF, 1939

This rare and attractive poster, once folded, has been expertly mounted on linen. The colors remain vibrant, and it shows minimal to no signs of wear.

Regarded as one of the finest films ever created, Jean Renoir's "The Rules of the Game" delivers a piercing critique of a corrupt French society, disguised as a comedy of manners where a weekend at a marquis's country estate reveals some harsh truths about a group of haut-bourgeois friends. The film's history is as dramatic as its content: after a hostile reception at its 1939 debut, it underwent cuts, and its original negative was lost in World War II. It was not until 1959 that the film was reconstructed. This version has captivated audiences for generations and is the one presented here.
