Shot on weekends, with no money and no sets, with actors donating their time and Chabrol providing left-over film stock, this film concerns a group of amateurs who come together in Paris to stage a performance of Shakespeare's  Pericles. But sexual and political tensions develop, their composer dies, the producer kills himself and a fascist conspiracy seems to be lurking in the background. The result of Rivette's two-year struggle is a work of total originality and inventiveness, of amazing depth and independence of vision. French with English subtitles.                                         Jacques Rivette---France---1958-60---124 mins.
