飛行員完成跨越大西洋的壯舉回到巴黎，眾人歡聲雷動、媒體爭先恐後迎接，唯獨他心中最想見的女人不在場。原來心心念念的她早已是富豪夫人，只是和丈夫過著貌合神離的婚姻生活。她和女僕埋怨著這些理不清的關係，但其實這座宅第裡的男女關係遠比「三角戀」還複雜多了，所有人都有自己調戲偷情的理由，只要不浮上檯面都不算破壞規則。

本片為影史上經典不朽的作品，將法國上流社會及美好年代的一切夢幻戳破，直指人們虛偽而不明就裡的遊戲規則。導演將鏡頭從低層生活一舉打通到他所熟悉的貴族豪宅，爐火純青的場面調度與攝影機運動，遊走於人與人之間複雜暗湧的關係。影片以幽默刺探上流貴族的堡壘，眾生赤裸的真實面貌一一浮現。當年上映時遭受傷風敗俗的抨擊而禁演，爾後二戰爆發，直到1959年於威尼斯影展重新放映受到矚目。

The Marquis de la Chesnaye gives a lavish party at his country house. Among the guests is celebrated aviator, André, former lover of the Marquis’s wife, Christine. Further liaisons connect the other guests and servants of the estate. Romantic intrigues and social rivalries coalesce in this acclaimed satirical comedy of manners. Set on the eve of World War II, its petty squabbles reflect a nation riven with class distinctions and headed towards destruction.

A classic of French filmmaking, La Règle de jeu is regarded as a true masterpiece of cinema. Hilarious, absurd and melancholic, the film audaciously shifts from melodrama to farce and from comedy to tragedy. On its release it met with disapproval. Renoir recut the film from 113 minutes to 85 but to no avail. It was even banned during the war. However, the film’s original cut was reassembled in 1959 and premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. Its reputation has never wavered since.
