Jacques Rivette

Yes, I preordered that - looks like a great package with some nice extras. But it's Region B so just speculating that there might also be a North American Criterion release.

The screening at the ICA was nearly sold out.

I saw a poor torrent rip of this 10 years ago and didn't get as much out of it as in this viewing as you just don't have to work so hard.

Interesting how this and "La Maman et la Putain" got a clean up and re-release in the same year, as they are of a similar vein. Though here the relationship disintegration is set alongside a piece of art coming together. A strangled death and a painful birth. The half an hour destruction of the flat as the couple try to rebuild their relationship looks forward to "In the Real of the Senses" too.

Probably the film in which he became a really great filmmaker.
