Va Savoir (Rivette, 2001): ICA Cinema, 3.30pm
This 4K screening is part of the Jacques Rivette season at the ICA. Full details here.Time Out review:
Jacques Rivette revisits familiar ground with this leisurely tale of romantic
intrigue and possibly dark deeds among members of a theatrical troupe
and their various acquaintances, but while it certainly lacks the edge
of Paris Nous Appartient, it nevertheless exerts immense charm.
Jeanne Balibar is the Parisian diva returning after three years in Italy in a
production of Pirandello's Come tu mi vuoi; Sergio Castellitto is her
lover, leading man and manager, jealous that she's in touch with her
(now married) ex, seeking out an apocryphal play by Goldoni, and drawn
to the daughter of a woman who may have the text. As ever, it's about
different kinds and levels of performance and falsehood, and shifts from
'realist' elements to something more fancifully theatrical (a
delightful duel - by drinking). Funny, sentimental but ironic, and
wondrously assured.
