Renoir's immortal masterpiece, which was banned when it was first released, was not restored until the Venice Film Festival in 1959. The story takes place on the eve of World War II. A group of French nobles spend the weekend together in a manor, which reflects various human flaws such as class conflicts and social conflicts. The so-called rules of the game mean that despicable means such as lies and deception were the unbreakable rules of the game in French society before the war. Anyone who violated this rule would be killed by the social circle at that time and become a victim of that society. The film combines various styles, from realism to fantasy, from comedy, tragedy to romance, and various elements are brought into play. But the moral of the film is very obvious. The cruel hunting scene will criticize the alienation and cruelty of human nature, and it also brings out the director's helplessness for the dark forces of society and the pessimism and disappointment of the social prospects at that time.

    The whole process is high-energy from halfway through, talking about men and women, about the vicious circle of marriage and socialization, an endless cycle that once caught in and can never be escaped, and is catalyzed by parties, dance floors and burlesque, and the people who interfere with this process can only end up being A stone thrown into the Atlantic, disappeared in people's memory. Renoir's narration and style, the combination of beautiful mirror movement and absurd group scenes, are undoubtedly extraordinary and worthy of being a classic in film history.
