Celine and Julie Go Boating

Jacques Rivette · 1974

Jacques Rivette’s 1974 film follows two women who enter a looping, magical-realist narrative housed in a Paris mansion, gradually learning its rhythms and rewriting its ending. Built on repetition, collaboration and patient observation, it models fiction as a space to inhabit rather than interpret.

Paris Belongs to Us

Jacques Rivette · 1961

Jacques Rivette’s 1961 debut is a slow-burning, enigmatic drama set among Parisian artists haunted by unexplained deaths and whispered conspiracies. Shot in natural light and real locations, it sustains a mood of existential and political unease without offering explanations — treating paranoia as ambient, collective, and structurally embedded.
