    Episode 219: Jean Renoir Week 2 (The Rules of the Game + The Diary of a Chambermaid)

    On Episode 219 of Floating Through Film, we're continuing our series picked by Dany, Jean Renoir! On this second week of the series, Dany starts the episode by speaking about the importance of depth of field in relation to Renoir's cinema (8:00). We then review his most popular film, the 1939 canon classic The Rules of the Game (35:50), followed by what some consider his American remake of The Rules of the Game, 1946's The Diary of a Chambermaid (2:09:31). We hope you enjoy!
