DVD Talk Collector Series THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 2004 DVD release, not the Blu-ray edition under review. “The horrible thing about life is this: Everyone has their reasons.” A tragicomic masterpiece and an all-around great, inventive, sparkling, deservedly revered movie, Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game ( La R gle du jeu ) (released in 1939) is …
