Jacques Rivette’s Céline and Julie Go Boating
Film
CÉLINE AND JULIE GO BOATING, directed by Jacques Rivette, produced by Les Films du losange
In honor of the film’s 50th anniversary, don’t miss Jacques Rivette’s classic, Céline and Julie Go Boating, at Los Feliz 3 on April 6.
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” meets the freewheeling invention of French New Wave gamesman Jacques Rivette in this giddy surrealist fantasia. When magician Céline (Juliet Berto) meets librarian Julie (Dominique Labourier), it’s not long before they step through the looking glass and straight into a labyrinth comic adventure involving a haunted house, psychotropic candy, and a murder mystery as the line between illusion and reality grows ever fainter.
France, 1974, In French with English subtitles, DCP, 193 minutes, Janus Films.
