of Culture

‘Elegant, melancholic, and deceptive in its serene simplicity, this is a concise summary of career-long themes by one of cinema’s all-time greats, and a bracing and lovely work in its own right.’

New York Film Festival Catalogue

‘Watching the maestro move his camera, smoothly mixing theatre and film, is never less than pleasurable.’

Dan Fainaru, Screen International

‘...flawlessly acted by Birkin...’

Boyd Van Hoeij, Variety

‘Wittily composed and edited, and shot through with genuine adoration for the landscape and culture of his homeland, 32 Vues du Pic Saint Loup shows Rivette developing charming, unique variations on all his pet themes’.

David Jenkins, Time Out

‘...succinct, elegantly acted... a contemplation of performance and the art of timing, in life as on the stage. This is Rivette's lightest film, without a doubt, but it's possibly also one of his best. And it's not often that you get to see Jane Birkin walking a tightrope.’

Jonathan Romney, London Film Festival Catalogue

'Wonderful.'
