My Take
Jacques Rivette is the French New Wave director I find myself returning to most, even if he's the least famous of the Cahiers du Cinema crowd. The French filmmaker made cinema like no one else, sprawling, hypnotic, gloriously patient films that bend time and reality. Celine and Julie Go Boating is pure magic, and the four-hour La Belle Noiseuse is the most quietly mesmerizing film about art and obsession I've ever seen. His legendary Out 1 runs nearly thirteen hours, a true test of devotion that rewards the faithful. He died in 2016, and I miss knowing there might be another impossible, beautiful Rivette film coming.
