Description:

A magical fantasy world by master filmmaker Jacques Rivette. A time of vertigo and pleasure in cinema... A surreal fantasy of freedom by Jacques Rivette, the brilliant director of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) that revolutionized cinema. Morag, a female pirate, vows revenge on Julia, the leader of a band of pirates who occupy a castle on an isolated island to avenge her brother's death. Like "Duel," this film about two women in confrontation was originally intended as a western, the second film in the "Daughters of Fire" tetralogy, but Rivette's magic transforms it into a work that defies time and genre. Fiction and reality collide and a dance of death is choreographed as the story unfolds in the spectacular locations of a 12th century fortress and a reconstructed 17th century castle on the coast of Brittany. Although the tetralogy of films that Rivette conceived ends unfinished, the strange and intoxicating world that Rivette invites us into continues to deepen.
