	Jacques Rivette
		Jacques Rivette, who emerged in the 1950s, along with Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, and Claude Chabrol, as one of the primary filmmakers of the French New Wave, is the most underappreciated (and under-screened) of this legendary group.
		Rivette rejects the notion of “the democratic principle”, whereby filmmakers are encouraged to continue making rehashes of the same ideologically nonsensical fluff due to a history of filmgoers paying their money to see similar films.
		Rivette's facility for stunning imagery is fluid as ever, from Balibar's escape to the freedom of the Paris rooftops, to the theatrical cunning of the closing sequence.

	Lycos Movies - Biography - Jacques Rivette
		Rivette, like his CAHIERS DU CINEMA colleagues Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and Eric Rohmer, did graduate to filmmaking but, like Rohmer, was something of a late bloomer as a director.
		In retrospect, Rivette's debut sketched out the path which all his subsequent films would follow; "Paris Nous Appartient" was a monumental undertaking for the critic-turned-director, with some 30 actors (including Chabrol, Godard and Jacques Demy), almost as many locations, and an impenetrably labyrinthine narrative.
		In these three films, Rivette began to construct what has come to be called his "House of Fiction"--an enigmatic filmmaking style influenced by the work of Louis Feuillade and involving improvisation, ellipsis and considerable narrative experimentation.

	French culture \| cinema: Jacques Rivette
		Jacques Rivette is the first of the Cahiers du Cinéma critics to direct a feature, and at age 73 he is still making films that challenge our perception of cinema and life, and the intersection of the two.
		Rivette frequently uses a work of theatre at the heart of his films (from Shakespeare's Pericles in Paris Belongs to Us to Pirandello's As You Desire Me in Va Savoir, and a continuing theme in his work is the conflict between "fictional" theatre and "real" life.
		Rivette's style is marked by his willingness to make use of improvisation and to experiment with structure.

	Salon Entertainment \| Home Movies by Charles Taylor: Idyll worship
		Rivette is trying to do in film something like what Manet did with "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe." He wants us to become so alive to our surroundings that we can appreciate the deep satisfaction of a suspended idyll.
		Rivette's films are collaborations with both the cast (who are involved in creating their roles and determining where the story will take them) and with the audience.
		Rivette's greatest legacy may be the new way you look at your city when you emerge from one of his movies, suddenly seeing the beauty of overlooked buildings, the charm of tucked-away parks, the comfort of small apartments.

	d+kaz . Screening Log Aggregate: Jacques Rivette
		Rivette counterpoises scenes of the marriage's downward cycle of break-ups and brief sexual, and eventually idealistic, reunions with footage of the husband acting in and directing a play, a section of the film that itself is counterpoised with 16-mm documentary footage of the rehearsal shot by a director independent of Rivette.
		I think Rivette is simply not a director for me. He is brilliant, but the way he thinks about cinema has yet to jive with my understanding of it, leading me to almost always feel like I am looking at a work through a foggy mirror, the context obscured, the references opaque, the motivation mysterious.
		The most surprising of these is when Rivette uses a dream sequence to elide three years time in the drama, and the most successful is the finale that suggests a true emotionality and spirituality that on the whole feels evacuated from the film.

	FILM RADAR: The Films of JACQUES RIVETTE
		Rivette developed the project as a stage play with writer Jean Gruault before mounting this screen version, which is distinguished by rigorous long takes, subtly expressive tableaux and hints of perverse sexuality.
		Rivette reminisces on his beginnings as a member of the "Gang of Four" (with Jean-Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer and François Truffaut) and discusses his films up to PONT DU NORD.
		Rivette carried the story of this supernatural meditation on love and loss with him for three decades: the film was to have been made in 1976 as part one of the above-mentioned tetralogy, with Leslie Caron and Albert Finney.

	John Hughes On (and With) Jacques Rivette
		Rivette’s cinema is the opposite of Herzog’s Heart of Glass (1976), where the actors are hypnotised; Rivette educates and excites his actors into a kind of conscious dream-state which enables him to film the Unconscious.
		Rivette has abandoned the Cartesian complexities of cinema-speech as it has been probed and schematised by the Cahiers critics and their followers and, like Godard, has entered into a world of mysterious palpitations amidst the emergence of the quotidian.
		Godard and Rivette are the great, dialectically-opposed offspring of Rossellini’s quest for a cinematic materialism: Godard, with his mad passion for logic and revolutionary clarity; Rivette, acolyte of the Dark Gods of the Unconscious.

		Bei der Arbeit mit seinen Schauspielern verwendet Jacques Rivette eine Methode, die er während seiner gesamten Laufbahn beibehalten hat: Es gibt kein Drehbuch sondern nur ein paar Seiten, die grob die Handlung umreissen.
		Diese improvisierte Phantasie zeugt zugleich von einer beeindruckenden Meisterschaft, wobei Rivette die Gespenster Jean Cocteaus und Lewis Carrolls herbei zitiert.
		Für Rivette ist der Bezug zur Arbeit anderer Regisseure von besonderer Wichtigkeit.

		For better and for worse, and principally the latter, Jacques Rivette has been singled out as the former Cahiers du Cinéma film critic who makes the least commercial films, as well as the longest ones.
		The problem with such caricatures is they generally function as excuses for why some spectators won't deal with Rivette's films rather than as viable descriptions of what they offer.

		Yet these larger canvases afford Rivette the space to develop a complex interplay between fiction and reality in which his layering of a world within the larger world of his films is both reflexive and magical.
		Despite Rivette’s reassurances to the censors, the film was banned for two years after its initial release for its tyrannical representation of the Catholic hierarchy.
		Jacques Rivette has continued to reinvent and extend the medium in such recent films as Va savoir and Haut bas fragile.

		The actors are again responsible for their own dialogue and a plot which revolves around the behind the scenes life of a theater set designer and a mystery.

	Jacques Rivette - Le veilleur
		If the literature on Rivette is peculiarly slim, almost the entire body of literature on Daney in English is composed of short articles explaining that there is a lack of literature on or by him in English.
		In broad terms the knighted guru of French cinephilia was, like Rivette, a critic at Cahiers du cinéma, one who participated in the rigorous yet rigid Maoist period and who, as editor-in-chief, inaugurated a kind of “return to cinephilia”, in which one was allowed to again write “I” instead of “we”.
		Jacques Rivette – Le veilleur is part of a television series that begun in 1964, and that was created for the ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française) by yet another important Cahiers du cinéma critic, André S. Labarthe, along with André Bazin’s widow Janine Bazin.

	Jacques Rivette - Films as Director:, Other Films:
		Rivette's first feature, Paris nous appartient, clocks in at a mere 140 minutes, and takes as its theme the abortive attempt by a group of French actors to mount a production of Shakespeare's Pericles.
		Rivette's fascination with the play-within-the-film, a leitmotif of his work, is given an initial, and not entirely successful, airing here.
		Rivette share Barthes' well-chronicled suspicion of authors, and he is also a fervent "intertextualist": his films abound in references to other books and films.

	Slant Magazine - Mirror Mirror : The Films of Jacques Rivette
		Rivette's films don't so much move as imperceptibly invade—we need to arrive at their far-off finales to determine if the journey through them is worth it.
		I suspect that the wondrous Céline and Julie Go Boating is Rivette's apex: Even his most enthusiastic proponents (David Thomson and Jonathan Rosenbaum among them) write of the later films with a slightly dutiful air, as if they're waiting around (slaves to a countercultural limbo) for some of the old magic to resurface.
		But I concede, with tempered but determined enthusiasm: Rivette is deserving of full consideration, a near-impossibility up until now as his films have very rarely been released stateside.

	Out 1 - Jacques Rivette - Movies - Report - New York Times
		Few would dispute that Jacques Rivette, who will turn 79 next year, is among the great French filmmakers of the post-New Wave era, but nobody would claim economy as one of his virtues.
		Rivette’s genius — and also his rigor — often tend in the opposite direction, toward loose, capacious compositions in which meanings and narratives proliferate like vines in an untended garden.
		Rivette completed “Out 1” — the eight episodes of which sprawl over almost 121/2 hours — in 1970, expecting that it would be broadcast on French television.

		Jacques Rivette is one of the great New Wave directors: a cinematic visionary, credited by his peers with having paved the way, he is still working 50 years on.
		Rivette's films are mischievous and playful, full of experimentation with narrative structure, character and improvisation.
		Typically for Rivette, there is also a film within the film: the events in the house, played out by its other-worldly inhabitants (Bulle Ogier and Marie-France Pisier), are drawn from two stories by Henry James.

		Jacques Rivette’s films dot the narration with images that seem to open up to other fictions or which point to the other side of the film we are watching.
		It is a cinema full of cracks and hints, a cinema that usually needs a good deal of footage to capture that relaxed flow —day and night— of events, the cadence of a shoot that is usually permeable to improvisation and last minute changes on set.
		Rivette invents the rules of his films, even though, strictly speaking, he is no player.

	village voice > film > Roberto Rossellini; The Complete Jacques Rivette by Nathan Lee
		In the case of the Rivette oeuvre, where a two-hour feature qualifies as shockingly brief, they can also be tough to sit through, though few filmmakers have made such revelatory use of extreme duration.
		Rivette is classically and consistently French in his approach to hardcore intellectualism as a delirious form of game play.
		There is the period of the proto-modernist masterpieces like Voyage in Italy (November 24), of which Rivette once wrote, "the film opens a breach, and all cinema, on pain of death, must pass through it." And there are the late, great, unclassifiable history pictures like the magnificent The Rise of Louis XIV (December 16).
