North Bridge
Dir: Jacques Rivette
France, 1981, 127 minsmins, DCP
Cast: Bulle Ogier, Pascale Ogier, Pierre Clémenti
Paranoia in Paris as two women meet accidentally but find themselves connected to deeper levels of political intrigue as Rivette maps out the Paris he loves and shows its constant risks at the hands of developers. Games within games – is this conspiracy or madness? Are these women saving Paris with their mystical map or being destroyed by it? Indeed this is a film where one viewing may not be enough – references and clues abound while the city constantly attracts and distracts us. Also notable for Pascale Ogier, who cowrote the movie with her mother (who plays the other female lead), making Baptiste a very modern heroine with martial arts and a motorcycle; Pascale would die three years later at 25.
