FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Jacques Rivette - The Story Of Marie And Julien


 No one is sympathetic in this late Jacques Rivette movie!  Julien (Jerzy Radziwiƚowicz) is a blackmailer and his victim, Madame X (Anne Brochet), cheats on her part by selling fake Chinese antique fabrics. Maybe she also killed her sister. Marie (Emmanuelle Béart) and Adrienne (Bettina Kee) live like ghosts condemned to exist in this corrupt, loveless world. Both have terrible love affairs. Even Julien's cat behaves like a monster. It's even this cat that will eventually reveal Julien's dark secret... Everyone has to pay in this world. The evil from the past takes its toll and the present only serves the purpose of correcting that past. But the monster cat's name "Nevermore" tells us that this is not possible. The past can never be restored. If you like the very early fantastic films from France, you will enjoy Rivette's film. Who can still distinguish between dream and reality in his world? Between fact and fiction? But all thoughts and events in The Story Of Marie And Julien are true. But there is no real world - only a manipulated world. If you want to read a little between the lines, you can search for sources like in every Rivette film. A dash of Hitchcock, a little Cocteau... Who remembers "Vertigo"? All characters in it get the chance to correct their past and fail a second time.
