El sonoro drama de Rivette, recientemente restaurado, nos sumerge en el proceso artístico, mientras se desarrolla una batalla de voluntades entre el viejo pintor Michel Piccoli y la reticente musa de Emmanuelle Béart. Arremángate porque las cosas se están poniendo feas.
A luminous study of her iconic mother Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg’s directorial debut is so startlingly intimate that it feels as if we are eavesdropping on family secrets. Shedding their mythologized image, the celebrated duo mull on love and loss as they leaf through extraordinary memories.
The very last film by Jacques Rivette, the most consistently underrated of the French New Wave critics-turned-filmmakers (a group which includes François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard), Around a Small Mountain is a wry, gentle gem starring 60s icon Jane Birkin.
