A French woman is courted by a Swedish co-worker even though she is still mourning over the death of her husband three years earlier.
Three classics form Jacques Rivette. Secret Defense is a gripping and fascinating dark Hitchcock style thriller about a scientist who is murdered by a family friend. In Vasavoir the theatre world is the setting. The characters all quick-witted well-read and cultured types revolve around each other in a delightful potpourri of theatre romance and theft. Histoire de Marie et Julien is a fascinating film and rather more interesting for its unusual stylistic approach to genre filmmaking dealing with death re-birth time and memory and is regarded as one of Rivette's long-lost phantom films.
Based on Emily Bronte's classic 19th-century novel Wuthering Heights this beautiful sensual film tells the story of the tormented love affair between two childhood sweethearts Catherine a headstrong young woman and Roc a fiery young gypsy. The groundbreaking French director Jacques Rivette sets one of literature's greatest love stories in the French countryside of the 1930s.
