\nWatched again with a very small, mildly unhappy audience. Oh how will I meet some fellow Rivette fanatics in my town if not at a public Celine & Julie<\/em> screening? Love love love the last twenty minutes or so when they attack the fiction house, but the parts in the middle where they interfere in each other’s lives (Celine driving away Julie’s lover, Julie wrecking Celine’s job) are great fun also. Still don’t know what to make of Julie meeting her grandmother at the house next door to the fiction house.<\/p>\n

Catching up with the cast: “Julie” had not-huge parts in Renoir and Fellini films, was recently in Ruiz’s Time Regained<\/em> with La Belle noiseuse<\/a><\/em> star Emmanuelle B\u00e9art. Marie-France Pisier played the dark-haired flower-fearing woman in the fiction house, also appeared in Time Regained<\/em>, as well as Phantom of Liberty<\/em>, Trans-Europ Express<\/em> and got her start starring in Truffaut’s short Antoine & Collette<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Remembering the cat in the final shot, I paid attention to all the cats in the movie this time. Not much to say about that, though.<\/p>\n

\nIncredible movie. Been thinking about it a lot. Lived up to expectations after I’d been wanting to see it for 6-7 years. Delightful to watch for all three of its hours, playful in every sense.<\/p>\n

Dark-haired Celine meets red-head Julie, and they goof around for a long time, then…<\/p>\n

James Crawford in Reverse Shot:<\/em><\/p>\n

From the outset, C\u00e9line’s been on the run from a mysterious mansion with a gruesome secret. And so, just as the title predicts\u2014in French, ‘aller en bateau,’ literally translated as ‘to go boating’ has a colloquial meaning of approximately ‘to get taken for a ride’ or ‘get caught up in a story’\u2014C\u00e9line and Julie get wrapped up in discovering said secret.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The two take turns entering this house and comparing their experiences, trying to change the outcome and learn the secrets within. They mess with each other’s personal lives (jobs and friends), experiment with spells and legends and memory, and seem to never stop enjoying themselves. A big ol’ metaphor for movie watching, filmmaking, audience participation, getting caught up in the action. Out 1<\/a><\/em> is at the theater and Celine & Julie<\/em> is at the movies.<\/p>\n

Released the same year as another movie to blow my mind on video lately, Edvard Munch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Will have to see this again and again.<\/p>\n
