Jacques Rivette

biography: Jacques Rivette (March 1, 1928 - January 29, 2016) was a French film director. With Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette was one of the more experimental of the French New Wave (nouvelle vague) directors. In common with many of his peers, he had a background in film criticism, where he expressed his admiration for popular American cinema, especially genre directors such as Robert Aldrich, Howard Hawks and Frank Tashlin. Rivette's films progress in unconventional ways—often following multiple plots that can be romantic, mysterious, and comic all at once and employing extensive improvisation—and are often extremely long.

ジャック・リヴェット

biography:
1928年3月1日、フランス・セーヌ＝マリティーム県ルーアンに生まれる。1950年5月、エリック・ロメールが主宰するシネクラブ・デュ・カルティエ・ラタンから機関誌『ラ・ガゼット・デュ・シネマ』をロメールとともに創刊する。同誌にはジャン＝リュック・ゴダールもハンス・リュカス名義で執筆していた。キオスク店頭からすぐなくなるほど売れた雑誌であったが、アンドレ・バザンら左岸のもうひとつのシネクラブであるオブジェクティフ49による『カイエ・デュ・シネマ』の創刊の動きに合流すべく、11月号を持って廃刊した。1952年2月、『カイエ・デュ・シネマ』に映画批評を書くようになり、この時期にリヴェットが執筆した論文には1953年の5月号に掲載された『ハワード・ホークスの天才性』などがある。その後、二代目編集長のロメールの後を受け、1963年から65年まで同誌の三代目編集長を務めた。

映画監督としては1949年から短編映画の製作を始め、ゴダールが主演を務めた『ル・カドリーユ』（1950年）や『王手飛車取り』（1956年）など数本を製作した。1958年から長編映画に取り掛かり、2年後の1960年に長編処女作『パリはわれらのもの』を発表。同作は英国映画協会サザーランド杯を受賞した。本作はフランソワ・トリュフォーの会社レ・フィルム・デュ・キャロッスとクロード・シャブロルのAJYMフィルムとの共同で製作。リヴェット自身を始め、シャブロルやゴダール、さらにはジャック・ドゥミまでもが出演した。トリュフォーは『突然炎のごとく』（1962年）の劇中でジャンヌ・モローにこの作品のタイトルを叫ばせている。本作で確立された台本を用いない即興的な演出スタイルはキャリアを通して守られている。その後、1966年にアンナ・カリーナを主演に迎えて製作した長編2作目の『修道女』を発表。第19回カンヌ国際映画祭のコンペティション部門に出品されたが、その内容が反宗教的と判断されて一時は上映禁止処分を受けた。1969年にビュル・オジエを主演に起用した4時間12分の長編『狂気の愛』は自身2度目となる英国映画協会サザーランド杯を受賞した。

1971年の『アウト・ワン』は上映時間が12時間40分にも及ぶ映画史上他に類例を見ない長尺な作品であり、本作の短縮版として1974年に発表した『アウト・ワン スペクトル』の上映時間も4時間15分に上る。どちらも日本では長らく劇場未公開であったが、2008年に開催された「ジャック・リヴェット・レトロスペクティヴ」と題した特集上映で初公開された。また、1974年には短編を含む4作を製作。その内の長編『セリーヌとジュリーは舟でゆく』はロカルノ国際映画祭で審査員特別賞を受賞し、ジル・ドゥルーズに絶賛された。

1980年代にはビュル・オジエとパスカル・オジェの親子を共演させた『北の橋』（1981年）やジェーン・バーキンとジェラルディン・チャップリンを起用した『地に堕ちた愛』（1984年）、エミリー・ブロンテの同名小説の舞台を1930年代の南フランスに移した『嵐が丘』（1985年）などを製作した。1989年の『彼女たちの舞台』は第39回ベルリン国際映画祭で国際映画批評家連盟賞を受賞した。

1991年、オノレ・ド・バルザックの『知られざる傑作』を元にした『美しき諍い女』を発表。第44回カンヌ国際映画祭で審査員グランプリを受賞した。美術モデル役を演じた女優エマニュエル・ベアールは序盤を除くほとんどのシーンをヌードで演じ、リヴェットとともに高い評価を得た。同年、ロカルノ国際映画祭で名誉豹賞を受賞。1994年にはサンドリーヌ・ボネールを起用し、ジャンヌ・ダルクの生涯を全2部作で映画化した。

2000年代に入り、2001年の『恋ごころ』が第54回カンヌ国際映画祭、2007年の『ランジェ公爵夫人』が第57回ベルリン国際映画祭、2009年の『ジェーン・バーキンのサーカス・ストーリー』が第66回ヴェネツィア国際映画祭にそれぞれ出品されるなど、80歳を過ぎても第一線で活動していた。

2016年1月29日、パリに於いて死去。87歳没。

biography:
Jacques Rivette est un cinéaste français, né le 1ᵉʳ mars 1928 à Rouen et mort le 29 janvier 2016 à Paris.

Comme ses camarades de la Nouvelle Vague, Rivette est d'abord critique de cinéma. Avec Éric Rohmer, il fonde la Gazette du cinéma en 1950 avant de rejoindre les Cahiers du cinéma, revue dont il devient rédacteur en chef en 1963. Il passe à la réalisation en 1958 avec Paris nous appartient. Il connaît le succès avec Suzanne Simonin, la Religieuse de Diderot qui sort sur les écrans en 1967 après avoir été dans un premier temps interdit par la censure.

Sa carrière décollant, il se lance dans une série de films expérimentaux dans lesquels il laisse une large place aux acteurs soit par le recours à l'improvisation, soit par un travail en amont avec les acteurs sur le scénario et réalise Out 1 : Noli me tangere, un film de plus de douze heures, en 1971, puis Céline et Julie vont en bateau en 1974.

title: Out 1: Spectre

overview: Out 1: Spectre begins as nothing more than scenes from Parisian life; only as time goes by do we realize that there is a plot—perhaps playful, perhaps sinister—that implicates not just the thirteen characters, but maybe everyone, everywhere. Real life may be nothing but an enormous yarn someone somewhere is spinning...

title: Merry-Go-Round

title: Paris s'en va

overview: Before Le Pont du Nord Rivette films Paris s'en va, a short film of approximately 25 minutes. He works with the same actors and the same technical team on both films. Henry Chapier who produced the short: "At the beginning of the '80s nobody was interested in Rivette's highly imaginative project Le Pont du Nord. Therefore Rivette came up with a kind of 'transposition' of the themes of Le Pont du Nord in the shape of Paris s'en va. Just like a painter in the Renaissance who does a sketch for a future project."

title: Aux quatre coins

overview: Considered by Jacques Rivette as “practice films”, these early images offer us a view of the beginning of his artistic journey. AUX QUATRE COINS includes an original device that immediately sets itself apart from any other classic narrative form. These first experiments were silent films with intertitles. AUX QUATRE COINS does not have any intertitles but black images between a few shots. Rivette offers the viewer intriguing visual forms, encouraging him to imagine his own story. (Hervé Pichard)
