Felicia is joined by John Pennington to discuss how Jean Renoir controlled chaos on the heels of an impending world war in his film The Rules of the Game (1939). We chat about how the blocking and framing is incredibly important in this film, and how collaborating with his actors led to memorable interpretations of his script. This is the series opener and I’m very excited to share this episode with you as it’s one of my all time favourite films and I think a perfectly encapsulation of his work.
