I've watched the film a few times over the past several days. Despite the lack of plot and the perverse anti-resolution, I found this film extremely satisfying. <br /><br />Coming at the film after being immersed in late Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, and the 21stC Twin Peaks), as well as The OA, Dan Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363515132592459957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-15220723832594612242008-12-13T16:01:00.000-05:002008-12-13T16:01:00.000-05:00Another great review...I'm completely fascinated b...Another great review...<BR/><BR/>I'm completely fascinated by Rivette's work - however, being hopeless at Torrents and suffering with a listless computer means that this is the period of his career that I'm a little behind on. I saw Out 1. at a cinema showing a couple of years ago and found it fascinating, but would have much rather been able to view the film alone so as to really immerse myself Lights in the Duskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03120326024293724432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-24549896936060629282008-12-11T11:29:00.000-05:002008-12-11T11:29:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comments, guys.

In addition to the ones already mentioned, there's <I>Duelle</I>, <I>Noirot</I>, <I>History of Marie and Julien</I> (where the lovers have the same names as in this film), and <I>Don't Touch the Axe</I>, at least. For the most part, the details of these various conspiracies are never workedEd Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-26502571421452404832008-12-11T10:17:00.000-05:002008-12-11T10:17:00.000-05:00Great review, which captures the quality of so man...Great review, which captures the quality of so many Rivette films. I've seen only three - Celine & Julie Go Boating, Paris Belongs to Us, and Out 1 - but these films, especially the third one, have made deeper impressions on me than just about anything else I've ever seen. The quality of a Rivette film is so remarkably unique - I'd compare it to stepping off a plane into a Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-49938964308187374682008-12-11T09:10:00.000-05:002008-12-11T09:10:00.000-05:00Your review is great.

I always like the theme of conspiracy in Rivette’s films, which can also be found in PARIS BELONGS TO US (1960), GANG OF FOUR (1988), and UP DOWN FRAGILE (1995). I think the conspiracy seems the most sinister or the most serious in PARIS BELONGS celinejuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347238043440133059noreply@blogger.com
