Brief synopsis of Love On The Ground

Life imitates art in this 1980s comedy-mystery, directed by the venerable Jacques Rivette. The plot revolves around a couple of semi-professional actresses, and their small theatrical troupe, who are invited to a famous playwright's mansion to rehearse a play. Things take a turn for the bizarre when events off-stage start to mirror scenes from the play...

Rivette revisits some of the themes of CELINE ET JULIE VONT BATEAU with a surprisingly young looking Chaplin and Birkin. Rivette is a bit of an acquired taste. You'll either find him charmingly Gallic and idiosyncratic or a wee bit irritating and dated. He's certainly different from his contemporaries in the nouvelle vague and worth checking out for that reason.
