Day 108: Partie de Campagn 1936 + La Grande Illusion 1937 + Le Regle du Jeu 1939

Partie de Campagn 1936

La Grande Illusion 1937

Le Regle du Jeu 1939

This afternoon I watched the 4th greatest film of all time by the greatest filmmaker of all time according to several critics and academics. Whereas I enjoyed Partie de campagn last night and loved La Grande Illusion of a number of levels, the greatness of The Rules of the Game eluded me on all levels.

Undoubtedly well-acted and produced, with professional cinematography, but the narrative and the behaviour of the characters didn’t engage me.
