Further Details Title: The Rules of the Game (The Criterion Collection) Condition: New Format: 4K UHD Blu-ray Genre: Comedy EAN: 0715515284516 Release Date: 06/06/2023 Description: Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’s country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the audience at its 1939 premiere, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES * New 4K restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack * One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray of the film with special features * Introduction to the film by director Jean Renoir * Audio commentary written by film scholar Alexander Sesonske and read by filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich * Comparison of the film’s two endings * Selected-scene analysis by Renoir historian Chris Faulkner * Excerpts from a 1966 French television program by filmmaker Jacques Rivette * Part one of Jean Renoir, a two-part 1993 documentary by film critic David Thompson * Video essay about the film’s production, release, and 1959 reconstruction * Interview with film critic Olivier Curchod * Interview from a 1965 episode of the French television series Les écrans de la ville with Jean Gaborit and Jacques Durand * Interviews with set designer Max Douy; Renoir’s son, Alain; and actor Mila Parély * PLUS: An essay by Sesonske; writings by Jean Renoir, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bertrand Tavernier, and François Truffaut; and tributes to the film by J.

  1. I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.

  2. Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.

  3. The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
