Mad Love

Confined to decades of oblivion after the original film was damaged in a fire, L’Amour fou by Jacques Rivette – a film fleuve secretly loved and essential in the history of French cinema – is finally rescued after a meticulous digital restoration. The film follows the tormented relationship between Sébastien/Jean-Pierre Kalfon, who plays Racine's Andromache, and his companion, Claire/Bulle Ogier, actress, in an astonishing mise en abyme in which life and fiction, theatre and cinema intertwine, marking a turning point in the director's work in which filming became a central element of cinematographic production.
