{"product_id":"lamour-fou-blu-ray","title":"Lamour fou [Blu-ray]","description":"Sebastian (Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Weekend) is staging an adaptation of Racine’s tragedy, Andromaque while a film crew captures their rehearsals on handheld 16mm. The production’s star and Sebastian’s girlfriend, Claire (Bulle Ogier, Out 1), cannot take the pressure and removes herself. Life imitates art, creating a tragedy for the couple when Sebastian recasts the role with his ex. L’amour fou is a hypnotic study of tempestuous love, told with director Jacques Rivette’s signature reflexivity and containing striking examinations of performance, art, theatre and life. A classic of the French New Wave and one of Rivette’s most radical works, L’amour fou was unavailable for years, with the original elements tragically burned in a fire. Now meticulously restored, Radiance Films is proud to present this masterpiece from a new 4K restoration.\n\n“In my opinion—and I think it will be shared by many—this is one of the five or six best films of the New Wave.” - François Truffaut\n\nL’amour fou is still my favourite film.” - Bulle Ogier\n\n“The work of a rebel, of an artist seeking to smash the codes and clichés of the ‘normal’ productions of the time.” - Jean-Pierre Kalfon\n\n“L’amour fou, is cinema without formal precedent. As with all great films, it feels like watching the birth of cinema, seeing the first ever film, and also the last.” - André S. Labarthe\n\n“A filmmaker sets up his camera and, above all, watches the actors, with no concern for characters or respect for a preestablished scenario. I'd like to draw inspiration from this. I'd like to grasp the personality of my actors and make cinéma vérité.” - Bernardo Bertolucci\n\n“L'amour Fou speaks to those who are madly in love with cinema. ” Jean De Baroncelli, Le Monde, 1969\n\n“One of Rivette's best films.” Serge Daney, Libération, 1991\n\nEXTRAS:\n\nSPECIAL FEATURES\n\n4K restoration from materials kept at Les Archives du Film and in Éclair-Preservation, under the supervision of Caroline Champetier\n\nUncompressed mono PCM audio\n\nA newly filmed feature-length documentary featuring new interviews with star Jean-Pierre Kalfon; writer\/director and Rivette collaborator Pascal Bonitzer; Rivette biographer Antoine de Baecque; critic\/historian Sylvie Pierre; and archival footage of Jacques Rivette (Robert Fischer, 2024, 95 mins)\n\nNew interview with Caroline Champetier, renowned cinematographer and restoration supervisor (2024)\n\nThe Third Eye - A video essay by film critics Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin (2024)\n\nNewly translated English subtitles","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147252879745,"sku":"2548419","price":16.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5060974680955_67DAB370.png?v=1742389215","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/lamour-fou-blu-ray","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
