Looks better than the 35mm print I saw two years ago! (And not just because one reel was missing and replaced with a video projection.)Michael Kerpan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 5:45 pmLooka a whole lot better than the print I saw 20 or so years ago.

Re: Jacques Rivette
This makes me grateful that I avoided those abominable bootlegs and waited for a proper restoration! Among other things, you can see the difference between the 16mm and 35mm footage here.

hearthesilence -- Probably the same print, much the worse for the wear...

Wow. Immediate tears of joy are still possible. This trailer provokes them.

Same. Somehow I avoided the bootleg of this one forever, and it feels like the right choice. The footage in these clips looks great. Looking forward to being surprised by everything in high quality.

Each to their own, but having seen the bootleg – and falling in love with the film as a result – doesn’t diminish my excitement about this at all! Can’t wait to revisit it.

Re: Jacques Rivette
I've seen the poor-quality L'Amour Fou and I'm still extremely psyched for the new version, because it's an amazing film.
I've been filling in some of my Rivette gaps recently and I saw the restored, English-subtitled Va Savoir+ mentioned upthread — I'd really appreciate any tips about how to find that. Thanks in advance!

Re: Jacques Rivette
I'd even settle for an unsubbed release of this version....

Word on blu ray dot com is Radiance has secured home release rights. I have no experience with that label. Do they do good work?

Radiance has mentioned a Rivette release being in the works but we still have no idea which movie it's gonna be.Petty Bourgeoisie wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:31 pmWord on blu ray dot com is Radiance has secured home release rights. I have no experience with that label. Do they do good work?
And yeah, Radiance is basically run by Arrow's former "Director of Content", so you can expect the same level of quality from them.

Re: Jacques Rivette
I certainly hope the scuttlebut about Va Savoir+ is true, An unstant buy for me...
Addendum: Oops -- I guess it was not Va savoir+ that was the rumored release. Well L'amour fou would be an instnt buy too.

Re: Jacques Rivette
That's amazing news if true. Seems we're on the verge of getting access to Rivette's complete filmography on (English-friendly) disc, which felt like a pipe dream just 10 to 15 years ago.

Re: Jacques Rivette
There's nothing to say it will be L'amour fou - it could be, but that's just speculation based on the new restoration. Worth noting that Fran has said previously that he would "definitely do" the Cohen Rivettes to right the shortcomings of those releases but that it wasn't likely to be for another couple of years; that was back in March so the second half of 2024 doesn't seem totally implausible.

Believe it or not, Gary Tooze hosts quite a few resources online (though he didn’t renew the domain)

Re: Jacques Rivette
Thanks for that link, domino-- what a valuable resource. The writings on Rivette by Jonathan Rosenbaum and Robin Wood that I was going to recommend are available there.
To these I would add recommendations for Mary Wiles' Jacques Rivette and James Monaco's The New Wave, though the latter only covers the films up through Celine and Julie.

Re: Jacques Rivette
Just got this newly published interview book that on cursory glance doesn’t seem to have much overlap with Tooze’s site. Excited to dig in

Re: Jacques Rivette
On the contrary; if I remember correctly (and I haven’t picked the book up after first purchasing), it seems like the majority of the content of that book is available on Tooze’s site and elsewhere on the web. There were no new translations (that I recall) and even places where there were ellipses, indicating certain passages were left untranslated, were retained in the book. There are several later interviews that I was reading for the first time, but I am pretty certain the first 175 pages or so I had read before, for free.

Re: Jacques Rivette
Very exciting. I suppose English subtitles are probably unlikely given there haven't been any on their last few Rivette releases.
I wonder if there's any chance Cohen will bring out the extended cut.

For some reason, I thought Va Savoir was the one late period Rivette that Cohen didn’t have the rights to.

Re: Jacques Rivette
Sony still has the U.S. rights, at least according to their site for repertory bookings.
