In this celebrated film, Juliet Berto & Dominique Labourier (also co-writers) are a pair of sprightly young Parisiennes who find their everyday lives pre-empted by a hallucinatory melodrama that plays out in a parallel reality. Simultaneously literary, theatrical & cinematic, Rivette's most celebrated film is at once both a comedic feminist epic & a free-wheeling study of the way we watch movies. Also stars Bulle Ogier, Barbet Schroeder and Marie-France Pisier. Presented in a brand new 35mm.
