THE DUCHESS OF LANGEAIS All is fair in love and war in Jacques Rivette’s 19th century costume-drama about a love affair between a Parisian socialite and a Napoleonic war hero. Rivette, one of the original French New Wave directors, now 80, directs with great style and restraint. With sophisticated psychology, brilliant story structure and riveting performances, THE DUCHESS OF LANGEAIS draws you in like a good book. (And it is based on a Balzac novel.) |
