Story of Marie and Julien
Lynch/Rivette
December 11 - 22, 2015
Rivette’s sublime late masterpiece is a moody and formally audacious ghost story about a clockmaker (Jerzy Radziwilowicz) and a mysterious woman (Emmanuelle Béart) whose sudden appearance sets in motion a sequence of otherworldly events, suggesting that everything in his life is connected in ways that exceed the bounds of rational explanation…
Rivette returns to the “Scenes de la vie parallele” cycle with this moody, surprising, and, ultimately, supernatural love story. Solitary clockmaker Julien (Jerzy Radziwilowicz) is blackmailing a counterfeiter of antique Chinese silks, but his sordid plot is complicated by the sudden appearance of Marie (Emmanuelle Béart), a mysterious woman who bears a strong resemblance to one of his former lovers. They begin a passionate romance, but a sequence of curious, otherworldly events suggests that things aren’t what they seem, and that everything in Julien’s life is connected in ways that exceed the bounds of rational explanation… An erotic and formally audacious take on the ghost story, Story of Marie and Julien is a sublime and moving work that explores fantasy and the body in equal measure to ecstatic, haunting effect.
