Le Cinéma en jeu: L’Amour fou de Jacques Rivette revisité
Confined to decades of oblivion after its original celluloid elements were damaged in a fire, Jacques Rivette’s formally brilliant and psychologically lacerating L’AMOUR FOU (1969) — among the most important and legendary films of the French New Wave — has been meticulously restored under the expert supervision of cinematographer Caroline Champetier. Arguably the most extreme, radical, and essential of the French auteur’s films, L’AMOUR FOU was Rivette’s first feature to introduce the signature characteristics of his visionary cinema, including reflexive interplays between film, theatre, art, and life. Robert Fischer’s CINEMA REDEFINED: JACQUES RIVETTE’S L’AMOUR FOU REVISITED features new interviews with star Jean-Pierre Kalfon; writer/director and Rivette collaborator Pascal Bonitzer; Rivette biographer Antoine de Baecque; critic/historian Sylvie Pierre; and archival footage of Jacques Rivette.
