  For me Jacques Rivette's talents has been evident only one of his many films and that was his mildly entertaining Celine et Julie Vont en Bateau from 70's. That film still went into the same overlong trap that many Rivette's other features. Idea of that film would be more appropriate for 90-minute film, but instead Rivette made it three long hours long. This first feature from Rivette that took three years to complete does not have that same problem, but in every other way it is just intellectual-trash. From the wannabe jazzy-dialogue to wannabe jazzy-music, this is near torture to sit through. This film just proves how seriously these young "enfant terribles" wanted to be taken as a filmakers back in the 50's.

  Jacques Rivette's first feature was filmed over the course of three years which goes to explaining some of the inconsistencies. At the heart of the plot is some sort of mystery/conspiracy, but we the audience never find out what exactly it is the characters are talking about.… More
  Jacques Rivette's first feature was filmed over the course of three years which goes to explaining some of the inconsistencies. At the heart of the plot is some sort of mystery/conspiracy, but we the audience never find out what exactly it is the characters are talking about. Though we never find out what is going on, the dialogue and goings on between each character never fail to keep your interest. This added with the experimental jazz style score makes a strange almost surreal film. Look out for cameos by Rivette, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Demy and a fabulous appearance by Jean-Luc Godard.
