The perfect companion to our limited run of Renoir's RULES OF THE GAME this season, this documentary is considered by such authorities as Jonathan Rosenbaum to be one of Rivette's most important works. Rivette interviews his idol about the genesis and making of RULES, their illuminating, good-natured exchange intercut with segments from the film. A moving reunion of Renoir with RULES star Marcel Dalio on the steps of the chateau where the film was shot provides the culmination. “Revelatory” (Andrew Sarris). “Deepens your appreciation of Renoir's unforced style. . . . Improvisatory, experimental, yet also rigorous and disciplined, the Renoir we meet here is above all engaged. JEAN RENOIR, THE BOSS should be shown in every film school in the country” ( The Village Voice ).
