He has created a parody of the traditional drawing-room murder mysteries in the Agatha Christie vein and combined it with a lusty, more subversive kind of "Upstairs Downstairs," along with hints of the classic Jean Renoir comedy "The Rules of the Game."
Echoing Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game, Gosford Park concerns a weekend shooting party for the elite.
There's a murder and obsequious, dull-witted Inspector Thompson (Stephen Fry) investigates, tiptoeing around his suspects like a toady, but the mystery spoof is merely a structure for Altman's empathetic take on Jean Renoir's biting, bitter satire "The Rules of the Game."
"Gosford Park" is "The Rules of the Game" reimagined as an English murder mystery.
Godard's trademark torrent of references and aphorisms is typically wide-ranging, but here they often have a specific and direct application, such as Godard's homage to Jean Renoir's "La Chienne."
"I thought of You Only Live Once, and instead of the Lolita or La chienne kind of couple, I wanted to tell the story of the last romantic couple�"…
Pigsty Alley is a delightful mix of the downtrodden and the optimistic, reminiscent of both Robert Altman�s Sweet Haven from Popeye and Jean Renoir�s slums in The The Lower Depths.
Anderson, who had never set foot in India before embarking on the film, was inspired by Jean Renoir's The River and the films of Indian master Satyajit Ray.
That exclusive list includes All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), La Grande Illusion (1937), 1960’s Paths of Glory, Wings (1927), and War Horse (2015).
Perhaps in this scene Mendes wanted to pay tribute to those war films that have a more humane message, such as “La Grande Illusion,” the 1937 masterpiece by French director Jean Renoir, also set during World War I.
The Lighthouse (2019)
Directed by Robert Eggers
influenced by Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932)
Visuals
Robert and Max Eggers’ script wields some well-researched period dialogue, although the success of some over-the-top tendencies depends on the key delivery of Dafoe, who is allotted a number of phenomenal monologues paired with gnarly close-ups of a visage which recalls Renoir’s Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932).
Renoir's early experiment with direct film sound recording using non-professionals, outside locales, local dialect, music and customs, etc ., as in Toni (1934) - that is often regarded as a vital precursive link to Italian Neo-Realism which influenced the Cahiers French New Wave group - is also uncanningly reminiscent of Astruc's definition of a "camero stylo " cinema (and not overlooking today's digital video developments) as Renoir's following words attest: "My aim was to give the impression that I was carrying a camera and microphone in my pocket and recording whatever came my way, regardless of its comparative importance.
Parasite (2019)
Directed by Bong Joon Ho
influenced by The Rules of the Game (1939), Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932), The Lower Depths (1936)
Themes
This farce is an unsparing (though not uncompassionate) portrait of so many levels of South Korean society, reminiscent of Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game.
It’s not a comedy of social upheaval, like “Boudu Saved from Drowning” (1932), though it does have wit to spare.
Economic disparity may be the greatest subject of the twenty-first century for intimate horror, and Watch a lot of Kurosawa you haven’t seen lately, especially “High & Low,” “Dodes’ka-den,” “I Live In Fear,” “The Lower Depths” and “The Bad Sleep Well.”
For all the talk about Vanishing Point, it may seem perverse to note that the film the first half of Death Proof feels closest to is Renoir's A Day in the Country.
(I’d love them to try to digest the notion that a third major influence is Jean Renoir’s French Cancan.)
Hollywood has lost touch with the humanism that distinguished the class-struggle story in Jean Renoir’s The Southerner (1945).
It’s “Country” or “The Southerner” or “Jean de Fleurette” but with Korean immigrants tested this time, a family whose problems arrive with them when they got their 50 acres of Arkansas in the mid-1980s.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Directed by Frank Darabont
influenced by Grand Illusion (1937)
Themes Plot
Parece que sempre falta algo nessas outras: um pouco mais de humanidade para os personagens em “Escape from Alcatraz“; um pouco mais de ação e ritmo em “Papillon“; mais substância no enredo de “La Grande Illusion“.
El convite de Darabont puede basarse en la novela corta Rita Hayworth y la Redención de Shawshank ( Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption ), del querido King, publicada en su recordada antología Las Cuatro Estaciones ( Different Seasons , 1982), un claro ejemplo de su humanismo descarnado y truculento más cercano al drama que al terror estándar, no obstante el director y guionista lee al asunto, en esencia un retrato seco de la mediocridad y el salvajismo de prisión que deriva en cansancio existencial, un proyecto de fuga y una lenta ejecución del plan de turno, como una especie de popurrí con aire de “grandes éxitos” de ingredientes tomados prestados de una retahíla interminable de películas semejantes de encierro, angustia y necesidad imperiosa de evasión, cúmulo que abarca desde clásicos yanquis como Fuerza Bruta ( Brute Force , 1947), de Jules Dassin, Infierno 17 ( Stalag 17 , 1953), de Billy Wilder, Revuelta en el Bloque 11 ( Riot in Cell Block 11 , 1954), de Don Siegel, La Celda Olvid…
There is a tradition of films about transgressive outsiders transforming the households into which they are invited, from Renoir’s Boudu Saved from Drowning in 1932 to its 1986 remake, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, by way of Pasolini’s Theorem (1968).
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
Directed by Matt Reeves
influenced by The Rules of the Game (1939), Grand Illusion (1937)
Themes
As a great film from nearly 80 years ago (Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game) posited, everyone has their reasons, and the fact that a genre entry of this nature, with no intrinsic need of being philosophically nuanced, goes out of its way to endow even its ostensible villains with comprehensible motives rates as a notable achievement.
As a war movie, it’s like smaller, more character-driven films, such as the 1956 Robert Bresson film “A Man Escaped,” or the 1938 Jean Renoir film “La Grande Illusion.”
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Directed by Adam McKay
influenced by The Rules of the Game (1939)
By 2024, it may be classified alongside Welles's "Citizen Kane" and Renoir's "The Rules of the Game" as one of the great film classics of our time.
As a result, much of the film was shot in Berlin, which provided Renoir with the opportunity to cast Werner Krauss, star of the expressionist film classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), as the male lead.
The basic plot formula—a shaggy-dog outsider lets some air into a stale bourgeois life—is a familiar staple from Jean Renoir’s Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932) to Paul Mazursky’s yuppie Los Angelino remake Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986), though the film that I thought of most during Ade’s was the (significantly funnier) 2012 Adam Sandler vehicle That’s My Boy.
The Phoenician Scheme (2025)
Directed by Wes Anderson
influenced by Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932)
Visuals
Benedict Cumberbatch, donning a Boudu Saved From Drowning beard…
Like Carnal Knowledge (which some consider Nichols’s best film, written—interestingly enough—by Jules Feiffer, who also wrote Popeye , which some consider Altman’s worst film), Closer is self-consciously hip, and like the more organic We Don’t Live Here Anymore earlier this year, both play and film could just as easily have been called The Rules of the Game, because Marber and Nichols (like Larry Goss) generate considerable excitement from watching people betray each other.
Dassin scouted locations for the picture by taking long walks with his secretary, and as a result Rififi joins Boudu Saved from Drowning , Les Bonnes Femmes , and Breathless as one of the great street-level views of Parisian life.
