Jacques Rivette's Histoire de Marie et Julien (The Story of Marie and Julien) stars Emmanuelle Béart and Jerzy Radziwilowicz as a pair of ex-lovers who get back together after their lives change. Julien (Radziwilowicz) is a clock repairman whose girlfriend has left him. Marie (Béart) is a mysterious woman who does not bleed after being cut. Her boyfriend has died. Marie and Julien had once engaged in an affair when they were each involved with other people, and now that they have no emotional entanglements, they slowly begin a new relationship. This film started decades before as a project in Rivette's Scenes From a Parallel Life series and abandons the majority of the formal rules imposed by the filmmaker on the other films in the cycle.~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

One for the vaults
I love many of Rivette's other films, but this is just too self-indulgent and the plot takes what seems a lifetime to get not very far. Avoid.

Beart bores
I love French films, I am not one of those who whine about sub-titles, this really is chronically tedious. You will long for the end and wonder why you bothered... read more »
