The Mysteries of Paris: Jacques Rivette's Out 1 Revisited

In June 2015, forty-five years after OUT 1 was made, the filmmakers went to Paris to interview cast and crew members and to revisit some of the film’s most significant locations. THE MYSTERIES OF PARIS features new contributions from actors Bulle Ogier, Michael Lonsdale and Hermine Karagheuz, cinematographer Pierre-William Glenn, assistant director Jean-François Stévenin and producer Stéphane Tchal Gadjieff, but also rare archival interviews with actors Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Michel Delahaye and, most prominently, illuminating statements by director Jacques Rivette himself from two different archival interviews.

Directed by Wilfried Reichardt, Robert Fischer, The Mysteries of Paris: Jacques Rivette's Out 1 Revisited leans on a strong ensemble — Bulle Ogier, Hermine Karagheuz, Michael Lonsdale — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2016.
