The Rules Of The Game (1939) ***

Whew. Lots of people consider this the "greatest film ever made". I can't figure out why exactly.
I thought it was just "OK". I'm not going to write it off completely, but I have little desire to rewatch it.

Smiles Of A Summer Night was made long after this film and reminds me of it, but I enjoyed Smiles much more. Maybe it's one of those films like Taxi Driver (my review here), which took me 4-5 viewings before I considered it a masterpiece. Who knows...?
