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. Benjamin receives a telegram from his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth and goes to Paris, but it is her sister Leo who is there. Unlike "Duel" and "Noroît," the two rivals are now a man and a woman, and a never-ending chase unfolds on a stage dominated by mystery. Although the filming was protracted and confusing due to the personal problems of Maria Schneider, who played Leo, and Rivette herself, the themes introduced in the first feature film, "Paris is Ours," were beautifully reconstructed as a melancholic mystery involving familial revenge and paranoia. Ben is played by Joe D'Alessandro, an actor discovered by Andy Warhol. The father of Leo and Elizabeth is played by the famous actor Maurice Garrel.
