Movie Reviews of The Story of Marie and Julien
Movie Review: Rivette's Histoire de Marie et Julien.
Summary: 5 Stars
Acclaimed experimental French film director Jacques Rivette is best known for his films La Religieuse (The Nun) (1965), C?line et Julie vont en bateau (C?line and Julie Go Boating / C?line and Julie Lose Their Minds) (1974), La Belle Noiseuse (The Beautiful Troublemaker) (1991), and The Story of Marie and Julien (Story of Marie and Julien) (2003). With a running time of 151 minutes, The Story of Marie and Julien tells the story of a man who repairs clocks, Julien (Jerzy Radziwilowicz), his mysterious love interest Marie (Emmanuelle B?art), and the woman he is blackmailing, Madame X (Anne Brochet). Julien lives alone in Paris with his cat, but dreams of Marie. Soonafter making a date with her, he asks Marie to move in with him. Her boyfriend is dead, and her past is clouded in mystery. Although they fall in love, Marie remains aloof, fearing that Julien will soon lose her and his memory of her. This prompts Julien to explore Marie's past with the help of madam X. Ultimately, Rivette's haunting drama explores the nature of love and relationships. The love scenes between Julien and Marie reveal Rivette's genius for combining sensuality with French aesthetics. The film is beautifully filmed, intellectually dazzling, and gradually builds to an unforgettable denouement. Highly recommended.

Summary of The Story of Marie and Julien
Julien (Radwilowicz) is a man who repairs clocks and is in the process of blackmailing a woman known only as Madame X (Brochet). Julien is in love with Marie (B?art), who he once met at a party and has dreamt of ever since. When they bump into each other in the street she too is keen to renew their acquaintance and soon moves into Julien's rambling old house. Slowly, it becomes apparent that there's something strange about Marie. Madame X helps Julien gradually realize that he has to uncover Marie's secret - and by doing so face losing her.Art House & International DVD Video
