“The cinephile’s holy grail.”—Dennis Lim, New York Times

French New Wave icon Jacques Rivette’s monumental and near-mythic 13-hour masterpiece Out 1 has been nearly impossible to see, which makes its restoration and reappearance one of the most extraordinary cinema events of the year. This is ideal winter binge-watching: eight episodes over two days full of French New Wave movie stars, secret societies, puzzle-box story structures, and a portrait of post-May 1968 Paris where, as Rivette described it, “the fiction swallows up everything and then self-destructs.” (Episodes 1–4: 414 mins. + intermissions; Episodes 5–8: 361 mins. + intermissions, DCP)
