Jacques Rivette’s Out 1: Noli Me Tangere to screen at the IFI December 12th and 13th

Virtually impossible to see over the last four decades, this screening of Jacques Rivette’s magnum opus in its full-length version, the first ever in Ireland, is a remarkable opportunity to finally experience one of the Nouvelle Vague’s most expansive creations.

Out 1: Noli Me Tangere is the cinephile’s holy grail; a 13-hour opus of eight episodic extended sequences of experimental theatre influenced by the work of Balzac (as is the film itself).  Each episode is interwoven with the story of a man (Jean-Pierre Leaud), a seemingly deaf-mute who begins to talk, and a woman (Juliet Berto), making a living as a con artist. Their stories evolve to form a pieced-together portrait of life.

As the narrative ebbs and flows, Out 1 offers no certainty or pinnacle, alternatively, Rivette offers an experience unequaled in its cinematic intrigue.  Unique and monumental, Out 1 is not to be missed.
