Description:

A magical fantasy world by master filmmaker Jacques Rivette. A time of vertigo and pleasure in cinema... A surreal fantasy of freedom by Jacques Rivette, the brilliant director of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) that revolutionized cinema. Julie, a librarian, is reading a book on witchcraft on a park bench in Paris when she accidentally meets Celine, a sorceress, and begins a strange adventure unlike any other. The film, which begins with an opening reminiscent of an "Alice in Wonderland"-like labyrinth, was composed from a script begun by Juliette Berthe, who plays Céline, and Dominique Labrie, who plays Julie. The humorous interactions between the main characters, who freely switch places as they leap over the boundary between fantasy and reality, and the variously colored objects and fashions, will leave the audience captivated by the Rivette magic. The events that take place in the house are adapted from the novel by Henry James. This playful masterpiece is one of Rivette's most popular works.
