Paris Belongs to Us
Dir: Jacques Rivette
France, 1961, 140minmins
Cast: Betty Schneider, Giani Esposito, Françoise Prévost
A quintessential prelude to the French New Wave, whose very assemblage manages to capture a long moment in French lives of the artists and the bourgeoisie between World War II and a revolutionary future. Here Rivette, who spent three years constructing the film, weaves mysteries and fear into the ensemble with the offstage murder of a Spaniard and the presence of an American expatriate, both of whom intrigue the young literature student, Anne, who dominates the action while a production of Shakespeare stumbles on through the film. Meanwhile, Rivette also fills the film with cameos from those who would shape the New Wave with him: can you spot Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard and Jacques Demy?
