I’ve been a long time admirer of Jacques
Rivette, but didn’t even know he had a new movie out. For god’s sake, the guy
is almost 90 years old!? So anyway, after I’ve downloaded it few months ago, I
saved it for some special occasion and then – hate to admit it – forgot about
it. Until now, that is.
So where else to start but with Jane
Birkin? She’s still so radiant, no matter if she’s smiling or looking sad, she
just steals every scene she’s in. Here she plays artist returning to this
little travelling circus she was forced to leave years ago because of some
family drama shit. She runs into this Italian playboy type with Jaguar and dark
glasses, but he turns out to be her guardian angel that helps her clear her
past. And he starts the process by fixing her car! So how cute is that I ask
you?
Excellent
stuff, filled with the sense of melancholy (circus wondering the countryside)
and surprisingly short, especially for Rivette. I could watch this for another
hour without problem.
9/10
