We are please to present the debut episode of The Princes of Cinema. We have fittingly rebranded as royalty and are discussing Jean Renoir's 1939 satirical French film about aristocrats living frivolously on the brink of WWII. Once booed, now praised as one of the greatest films ever made, The Rules of the Game is basically Downton Abbey about the French in the 30s.  Remember: "The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons."
