In an extended interview with legendary French film critic Serge Daney (Trafic), Jacques Rivette recalls his early days as editor of Cahiers du Cinéma, working alongside André Bazin, and reflects on his fellowship in the New Wave’s “Gang of Four.” Denis punctuates this fascinating oral history with clips from films such as Paris Belongs to Us, L’Amour fou and Out One.
