Description: The Count and Countess La Chesnaye host a lavish weekend party at their country manor where sexual tensions erupt among the hosts, their guests and servants. Long banned in France for its stinging appraisal, the film frankly delineates the erotic charades of the French leisure class before World War II. Renoir satirizes the social and sexual mores of a decadent society near collapse. The film is Note d for its two set pieces - the after-dinner entertainment and the rabbit shoot.
