I know this is seen as a classic of French cinema. But I thought it was just boring. I recognize the influence it had on Robert Altman's period drama 'GOSFORD PARK' which I liked far better than this.

I know that as a film connoisseur I'm supposed to not only enjoy this film, but sing its praises. But, I can't. I found it tedious and boring. I get it, your rich, your are completely oblivious to what's going on around you, and you probably have a case of "affluenza." I found myself not caring about these people, none of them. And what the fuck was going on during the theater scene? Who were they putting on a performance for? Maybe I just don't understand French film, and I probably don't, I prefer the Italians when it comes to foreign cinema. It's a biting satire at the rich, but I just didn't care for it.

Renoir uses a pedestrian and observer approach in documenting a comedy of errors. I think the commentary on aristocracy and high society is biting, even by today's standards, although, occasionally the constant "couple-swapping" gets tiresome and confusing. Bold conclusion, though.

I'm pretty sure I lack of artistic sense, lack of general culture... I bet 100 bucks that I lack of common/good sense... but, the thing is that I didn't like this movie. I can't see what's the big deal. I was expecting something that could at least make my top 20. It didn't. It's dead... down there. I think in the position #150 in my list.
