Jacques Rivette — Director (34)
Portrait de Michel Simon par Jean Renoir (1966) [Movie] Douban
other title: Jean Renoir le patron, 2e partie: La direction d'acteur
It is always a great emotion to watch Michel Simon, perhaps the greatest french-speaking comedian ever, whether he appears in Carné's or Duvivier's pre-war masterpieces or in mediocre films by third rate directors. But it is actually the same emotion to watch him in the role of Michel Simon. As noted by Sacha Guitry in the prologue of La Poison, with him there is no reason to stop filming as no one knows when he starts or stops acting. Guitry was perhaps the only established director to trust Michel Simon and offer him major roles at the end of his career which Jean Renoir certainly did not, and this is why it is particularly painful to watch his hypocritical demonstrations of friendship and interest. Renoir's idea was probably to entertain his court of young admirers (Rivette et al.) by showing them some old freak. But in spite of his endless but insignificant talking, Renoir just does not exist in front of Michel Simon.

Before Le Pont du Nord Rivette films Paris s'en va, a short film of approximately 25 minutes. He works with the same actors and the same technical team on both films. Henry Chapier who produced the short: "At the beginning of the '80s nobody was interested in Rivette's highly imaginative project Le Pont du Nord. Therefore Rivette came up with a kind of 'transposition' of the themes of Le Pont du Nord in the shape of Paris s'en va. Just like a painter in the Renaissance who does a sketch for a future project."

Noroît
director: 雅克·里维特 actor: Bernadette Lafont / Geraldine Chaplin / Kika Markham / Babette Lamy
other title: 诺娃 / 북서풍
After her brother was killed by a notorious all-female pirate gang, Morag dedicates her life to bringing the murderers to justice. Soon, she has become an important member of the pirate gang and has begun acquiring the loyalty of key members. Eventually, she makes her move and challenges the leader, a demi-god (literally), known as "The Daughter of the Sun." The story of Noroit is based on an early 17th-century tragedy by Cyril Tourneur, and, though it is only the third one filmed, the movie is the concluding episode in a four-part series by director Jacques Rivette.
“With NOROÎT, Jacques Rivette has joined Federico Fellini as one of the great autobiographical surrealists of the cinema” (John Hughes). Based on the bloody Jacobean play, “The Revenger's Tragedy,” and influenced by samurai films, Fritz Lang, and Samuel Fuller, NOROÎT was shot in a fifteenth-century chateau and a twelfth-century seaside fortress, and stars Geraldine Chaplin as the ghostly Morag, out to avenge the death of her brother who was murdered by a group of women pirates. With its emphasis on ritual, fantasy, and spectacle, “NOROÎT contains the most beautiful images and sounds of any Rivette film” (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Sight & Sound ).

我们时代的电影 (1964) [TV] Douban
Cinema, de notre temps
Chaque documentaire traite d'un cinéaste, voire d'une école cinématographique (la Nouvelle Vague...), ou d'une question particulière liée au cinéma (Critique et cinéma...). Le choix des réalisateurs, comme les questions abordées sont très empreintes de la vision des Cahiers du cinéma dont André S. Labarthe est l'un des anciens rédacteurs, Janine Bazin étant par ailleurs l'épouse d'André Bazin, fondateur de la revue.
Sur le plan du traitement audiovisuel, les documentaires sont assez hétérogènes et tentent d'ailleurs de s'accorder au style du réalisateur concerné : une caméra portée en plan séquence pour John Cassavetes, une conversation en voiture pour Abbas Kiarostami... D'une manière générale, les documentaires se gardent de comporter une voix-off et cherchent à donner la parole aux réalisateurs, pénétrer son univers, sans forcément recourir à l'interview.
La série démarre en 1964 sur l'ORTF et se poursuit aujourd'hui sur Arte. En 1989, à l'occasion de sa reprise par Arte, la collection est rebaptisée Cinéma, de notre temps.
Merry-Go-Round (1981) [Movie] Douban
Merry-Go-Round
director: 雅克·里维特 actor: 玛利亚·施奈德 / 乔·达里桑德罗
other title: 旋转木马 / 绝路回旋
The story goes that Maria’s father is presumed dead and some four million dollars left in his care are unaccounted for. Maria’s elusive sister Liz (Danièle Gegauff, a producer on Out 1 and star of a single Chabrol film) summons Maria and Joe (Liz’s boyfriend) but fails to show up herself, so these two meet and go on an adventure together. Liz shows up briefly, along with a bunch more characters, each of whom want to help either Maria or her possibly-alive father, or more likely, want a share of the money. Most suspicious is Shirley (Sylvie Matton, whose husband directed her and Udo Kier in his adult horror Spermula), who is possibly either Liz’s best friend, the father’s ex-lover, Joe’s sister or none of the above.
The movie seems to fits neatly in the Rivette filmography, with on-camera musicians like predecessor Duelle, and a couple of characters chasing around the country trying to solve a possibly imagined mystery a la follow-up Pont du Nord. But there are some wrinkles. The grasp on the mystery is soon lost and Joe and Maria ramble, their relationship growing increasingly unpleasant, then the plot returns with a puzzling vengeance in the last half hour. Plus there are unexplained fantasy scenes, with Joe and a suspiciously Maria-like girl (played by Hermine Karagheuz, Marie in Out 1) chasing each other through forests and deserts, with appearances by snakes, rifles and a mounted armored knight.
