Production
After completing the film La Bête Humaine (1938), Renoir wanted to get away from naturalism and work in a more classical and poetic style. To get ideas and inspirations for The Rules of the Game he read the works of Pierre de Marivaux and Alfred de Musset. Although he had no intention of following their style, reading their work helped Renoir to find his own, somewhat halfway between realism and poetry.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
