New Trailer for the 4K Re-Release of ‘L’Amour Fou’ by Jacques Rivette

“For passionate film lovers.” Janus Films is re-releasing the French New Wave classic L’Amour Fou (aka just Amour Fou) at the Lincoln Center cinemas in NYC this week. The film is getting a nice 4K restoration re-release in select US theaters, after recently playing at the 2023 New York Film Festival earlier this month (it originally premiered at NYFF in 1972). The 4K restoration was carried out by Les Films du Losange with the support of Les Films du Veilleur and the CNC under the supervision of Caroline Champetier AFC. “One of the great French films of its era. Watching this is a life experience as much as a film experience.” During the rehearsals for the production of the tragedy Andromaque, the leading actress and her director, a couple behind the scenes, can’t find a way to leave their personal problems at home. Life imitates fiction, creating a real tragedy for this couple when the man finds comfort with other women while the actress prefers to stay focused on her work, as if nothing is happening with her partner. Starring Bulle Ogier and Jean-Pierre Kalfon. If the new Scorsese film isn’t long enough, this 4 hour French film might be a good escape as well. // Continue Reading ›
