La Règle du jeu

About This Movie

La Règle du jeu (2017) presents a deceptively light premise: a question-and-answer game among coworkers. But there's this gradual unraveling as it shifts from playful banter to something dark and unsettling. The pacing really grips you, kind of sneaky, drawing you in before the tension ramps up. Themes of control and human nature lurk beneath the surface, making you evaluate how well we know each other. Practical effects here are minimal but effective, serving the atmosphere more than overshadowing the performances. The cast navigates this tonal shift quite well — it's fascinating to watch them go from camaraderie to chaos. A distinctive blend of comedy and psychological horror, if you can call it that.
