I’m fairly neutral on Rules of the Game, but I don’t find it surprising that some people would be put off by a slow-moving portrait of a decadent, long-gone society, no matter how well crafted.
I gotta agree with Frank. I liked Rules, but I can see how some people wouldn't, probably because of the character-study aspects of the film.

See, my feeling on Rules of the Game are that the people who would "hate" it are the hoity-toities of the world.
When I consider that the film is a mock of the Bourgeoisie (although Renoir denies it), I could see how the "hoity-toities of the world" would hate it.
