Called “the most important landmark of post-New Wave French cinema,” and “one of the most important films ever, a film that does as much to renew the cinema of today as CITIZEN KANE did,” L'AMOUR FOU is one of Rivette's key works. A stage director, preparing a production of Racine's Andromaque, must deal with the mental collapse of his wife, who is also his leading actress. Their marital break-up culminates in a terrifying, riveting episode in which the husband and wife lock themselves in an apartment for an orgy of lovemaking and wholesale destruction. “Filled with all the magic and sense of mystery which characterizes Rivette's finest work” (Roy Armes). “You emerge from it changed. It's a life experience as much as a film experience” (Jonathan Rosenbaum). PG
