Mar 06, 2007

Claire Denis, France, 1990, BetaSP, 125 min.

 An assistant to Rivette before she became a director, Claire Denis (BEAU TRAVAIL, CHOCOLAT) Filmed Rivette and the great French film critic Serge Daney discussing the director’s films and his early days as part of the French New Wave with Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, and Eric Rohmer. This portrait, which includes clips from Rivette’s films, offers an excellent introduction to the filmmaker.
