Rivette in top form: “THE GANG OF FOUR is Rivette's most engaging and accessible film in over a decade” ( The Village Voice ). The gang of four is a quartet of drama students who live together in a suburban villa while attending the acting classes of the icy, imperious Bulle Ogier. Despite their professional jealousies, the four young women band together when a former roommate becomes involved in a terrorist conspiracy. Their solidarity is threatened by an intruder who importunes each of them in his search for a mysterious key. “GANG is beautifully lit, its camera work discreetly expert. . . . Not the least of the film's delights is the impressive roster of fresh talent, all excellent and most in their first important roles. Veteran Ogier is superb” ( The Village Voice ).
