In reference to the Rules of the Game review: Sorry for being a stickler, but if you’re going to consider a film made in 1939 modern, wouldn’t all cinema be modern since its only been around for a little over a hundred years, and therefore “modern cinema” is redundant. Otherwise shouldn’t we consider “modern cinema” anything from say the last 25 years?
