Princeton Garden Theatre

Inspired by the exhibition The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection, the Art Museum offers a rare opportunity to see a compelling example of twentieth-century cinema on the big screen. 

La règle du jeu (The Rules of the Game, 1939). 110 minutes, not rated, directed by Jean Renoir

Considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made, this scathing critique of corrupt French society is cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’s country château lays bare ugly truths about the haut bourgeoisie. Introduced by Museum Director James Steward.

Museum members receive Garden Theatre member admission prices.
