Jacques Rivette, The Watchman

This film is part of the Cinéma, de notre temps collection (which was first called Cinéastes de notre temps), the brainchild of Janine Bazin and André S. Labarthe, and which numbers 70 titles to date. More often than not, it is the portrait of one filmmaker made by another filmmaker. The film shot by Claire Denis about Jacques Rivette, Cahiers du Cinéma critic, member of the New Wave, who was one of her mentors in her early days, is made up of two parts, Day and Night.
