Long Takes

The endlessly blurred and tangled lines of reality and fiction, cinema and theatre, and art and life form the heart of Jacques Rivette’s cinema. Throughout his extensive body of work the French filmmaker continually eschews and reformulates the traditional patterns of narrative cinema whilst embracing mystery, conspiracy, and the inexplicable. Rivette falls in that rare class of filmmaker who can truly be said to have created his own world in cinema, one restlessly radical in form and continually populated with outsiders, artists, and spectres.
