Jean Renoir, Roland Toutain, and Nora Gregor in The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir, 1939)

Cast: Nora Gregor, Paulette Dubost, Mila Parély, Odette Talazac, Claire Gérard, Anne Mayen, Lise Elina, Marcel Dalio, Julien Carette, Roland Toutain, Gaston Modot, Jean Renoir, Pierre Magnier. Screenplay: Jean Renoir, Carl Koch. Cinematography: Jean Bachelet. Production design: Max Douy, Eugène Lourié. Film editing: Marthe Huguet, Marguerite Renoir. 

The first time I saw The Rules of the Game, many years ago, I didn't get it. I knew it was often spoken of as one of the great films, but I couldn't see why. I had been raised on Hollywood movies, which fell neatly into their assigned slots: love story, adventure, screwball comedy, satire, social commentary, and so on. Jean Renoir's film was all of those things at once, to my confusion. I had to be weaned from narrative formulas to realize why this sometimes madcap, sometimes brutal tragicomedy is regarded so highly. And I had to learn why the period it depicts, the brink of World War II, isn't just a point in the rapidly receding past, but the emblematic representation of a precipice that the human world always seems poised upon, whether the chief threat to civilization is fascism, pandemic, or global climate change. The Rules of the Game is about us, dancing merrily on the brink, trying to ignore our mutual cruelty and to deny our blindness. Renoir's characters are blinded by lust and privilege, and they amuse us until they do horrible things like wantonly slaughter small animals or play foolish games whose rules they take too lightly. I'm afraid that makes one of the most entertaining (if disturbing) films ever made seem like no fun at all, but it should really be taken as a warning never to ignore the subtext of any work of art. Much of the film was improvised from a story Renoir provided, to the glory of such performers as Marcel Dalio as the marquis, Nora Gregor as his wife, Paulette Dubost as Lisette, Roland Toutain as André, Gaston Modot as Schumacher, Julien Carette as Marceau, and especially Renoir himself as Octave. Renoir's camera prowls relentlessly, restlessly through the giddy action and the sumptuousness of the sets by Max Douy and Eugène Lourié. It's not surprising that one of Renoir's assistants was the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. And, given my own initial reaction to the film, it's also not surprising that The Rules of the Game was a critical and commercial flop, trimmed to a nubbin of its original length, banned by the Vichy government, and after its negative was destroyed by Allied bombs in 1942, potentially lost forever. Fortunately, prints survived, and by 1959 Renoir's admirers had reassembled it for a more appreciative posterity.

Jean Renoir’s ‘The Rules of the Game’ on Criterion Channel

It begins with a young aviator (Roland Toutain) who, having completed an historic flight, commits a serious social faux pas and…

Backstories sure are fun.

If I'm correct, the one from the most recent time period would be Colette (1890's), then Tokihari (1660's), then Adam (1640's) and Zhen is from the furthest back by a very long way (1250's BC)

Colette also travels forward the least, because she travels to the cold war era while the others all end up in the modern day.

Tokihari is also a bit of an outlier because he's the only one who can return to his own time period freely.

SEBASTIA BOADA

Dossier Negro no. 103, cover art

Sebastià Boada was a painter, draftsman, and sculptor born in Barcelona, in the Gracia neighborhood, in 1935. From a very young age, he showed great ability for drawing and painting. At the age of 14, he began his studies at the prestigious Escola de les Arts i Oficis Artístics de Barcelona, La Llotja. He also studied for a degree at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge de Barcelona and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva (Switzerland) for a year.

His work as a comic book artist began at Editorial Bruguera in 1954, with illustrations for Pulgarcito, Can Can, and other magazines of the group, approximately until 1961. He then began to work for foreign markets through the same Bruguera and A.L.I. agency, and from there, he moved to Bardon Art with Jorge Macabich and Josep Dalmau, where he made about 50 romantic notebooks of 64 pages for Scotland and England for DC Thomson and Fleetway publishers.

Between 1971 and 1972, he made his first color covers for romances for the Netherlands, published by Editorial Kerk. He also worked in Selecciones Ilustradas by Josep Toutain, making all kinds of themes: terror, gothic, western, and detectives, among others. He also received commissions for the German publisher Bastei and for Bardon Art, with comic books and illustrations of El Santo and covers of Buffalo Bill.

He also worked for Editorial Molino. In 1979, he joined Norma Editorial with the same themes as Bastei, i.e., western, western-sexy, kung-fu, dinosaurs, detectives, and adventures. In addition, he made numerous covers for the Norwegian publisher Bladkompaniet through Norma. Other works include the notebook Fatal Beauty, which was edited by Sal Quartuccio & Bob Keenan Publishers of SQP Inc. with sketches and previously published covers. In the late nineties, his art could be seen in Coven, a title designed to collect a collection of women's illustrations focused on the theme of the witch as a sexual icon.

During the seventies, he also worked for the US market as a cover artist in different editorials. He made painted-style covers in series such as Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction for Marvel, as well as Psycho and Nightmare from Skywald Publications, under the pseudonym of Puigdomenech.

In the 1980s, he made a series of pencil drawings for the Barbie character, although there is no information about their publication, and perhaps they were inked by another author. Until 2010, he was known to be active as a painter, sculptor, and cover artist for Bastei of Germany, after more than 30 years and at the age of 75.
