The audience booed Renoir in 1939. What would they do today?

Watched the "commentary" version and some other supplementary material on the Great Jean Renoir "Rules of the Game" (1939) and though the commentary was adequate, not extraordinary, the more you learn about the film the more you appreciate it: the wonderful composition of shots, the use of long shots with slow moving camera, the depth of focus (many of the interior shots), the brilliant editing of the hunt sequence (only place in move with many short takes - creating a totally different pace and mood). Also commentary discusses the social classes, making clear that Octave and Andre are the two outsiders, and spends a lot of time discussing the balancing of relations among the characters - like an elaborate dance - some of this lost me and didn't interest me much. Most interesting of all was Renoir's own brief intro, in which he said that the film was a horrible failure on premier, with the audience booing - they hated the film for its point of view, which was a savage attack on the French so-called nobility, a society I find rotten to the core, Renoir said - so that should put an end to any thought that he was sympathetic to this social milieu (though he is sympathetic to the characters within this milieu, because he is humane) - today, I fear, an audience would boo because he criticizes the members of the nobility, not because he devastates them.
