October 4, 6 & 13, 2024La Religieuse – 4K Restoration
In eighteenth century France, novice Suzanne (Anna Karina) is compelled to take her vows and become a nun. As she does what she can to resist, Suzanne is shuttled between convents with widely different Mothers Superior, ranging from maternal to sadistic to amorous. Based on the novel by Denis Diderot, Rivette’s film was banned at its initial release and became the scandal du jour.
Dir: Jacques Rivette / 1966 / French with English subtitles / 140 min
“An inspired choice of revival…writhes with almost uncontrollable surges of anger, lust, and distress.” – Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
“A great film that remains one of the cornerstones of the French New Wave.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
“In its sculptural compositions and meticulous choreography of bodies through space, it has a recognizably Rivettian formal beauty.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
