“When I would show several Renoir films each year, I was always struck by their relevance, because every year there seemed to be an event or news that directly connected to this ‘old’ movie. I find La Règle du jeu as most illustrative perhaps – all sorts of people from different social classes and backgrounds all making decisions that are understandable in one context, and yet have disastrous and horrific consequences in another. […] I think being a successful filmmaker means you have a keen eye for human behavior and human drama. Renoir’s whole theory of humanity was that people across class had more in common than people within nations.”
