The rules of the game aka La règle du jeu (1939) - Jean Renoir

Rating 8.0/10
Runtime: 102 min
Language: French
Country: France
Directed by: Jean Renoir
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031885/

Cast

Description: Widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir’s masterpiece The Rules of the Game ('La Règle du jeu') is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners. At a weekend hunting party, amorous escapades abound among the aristocratic guests and are mirrored by the activities of the servants downstairs. The refusal of one of the guests to play by society’s rules sets off a chain of events that ends in tragedy. Poorly received upon its release in 1939, the film was severely re-edited, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II. Only in 1959 was the film fully reconstructed and embraced by audiences and critics who now see the film as a timeless representation of a vanishing way of life.

Description: A year in the life of a small Italian coastal town in the nineteen-thirties, as is recalled by a director with a superstar's access to the resources of the Italian film industry and a piper's command over our imaginations. Federico Fellini's film combines the free form and make-believe splendor with the comic, bittersweet feeling for character and narrative we remember from some of his best films of the 1950s. The town in the film is based on Rimini, where Mr. Fellini grew up. Yet there is now something magical, larger-than-life about the town, its citizens and many of the things that happen to them.

I remember Mama (1948) - Irene Dunne

Rating 8.2/10
Runtime: 134 min
Language: English/Norwegian/Latin/French
Country: USA
Directed by: George Stevens
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040458/

Cast

Irene Dunne ... Martha 'Mama' Hanson
Barbara Bel Geddes ... Katrin Hanson
Oskar Homolka ... Uncle Chris Halverson
Philip Dorn ... Lars Hanson
Cedric Hardwicke ... Jonathan Hyde

Description: In the format of a story, aspiring writer Katrin Hanson recollects her life growing up in the early twentieth century San Francisco with her Norwegian immigrant family: her siblings Nels, Christine and Dagmar; and her Papa and Mama named Lars and Martha. Mama is the practical one in the family. One of the family's rituals is doing the household financial accounts every Saturday night. Using the money brought home by Papa and what is kept in their petty cash tin, Mama would allocate it to the weekly bills. "It's good - we do not have to go to the bank" is what Mama would say if they had enough money. Luckily, they never had to go to the bank as dipping into their bank account was the worst thing they could have done. Beyond her practicality, Mama is truthful and compassionate and will do anything for those she loves. This not only includes her husband and children, but also her "scary" Uncle Chris, her trio of sisters - all four of whom can be difficult to love much of the time - and their poor boarder, Mr. Hyde, who provides more to the family in his readings than any financial compensation ever could. But Katrin and her siblings learn of a lie told by Mama, all in the name of protecting them.
