About This Movie
These Are the Rules is a curious piece from 1983 that dives into the absurdity of authority. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive at times, with a surreal tone that lingers in your mind. Doug Hall's performance is intriguing, as he embodies an authoritarian figure with a certain detachment that feels unsettling. The pacing has this slow burn quality, allowing the viewer to really soak in the themes of political symbolism and its inherent contradictions. Practical effects are minimal yet effective, adding to the film's unsettling vibe. It’s distinctive in how it challenges the viewer to reflect on power dynamics in society without being overtly didactic. Definitely a conversation starter.
