In 1970 Rivette filmed Out One: Noli Me Tangere, an improvisational film about the bohemian theater scene which was intended to be screened as a twelve-and-a-half hour television miniseries. When French broadcasters rejected the film, Rivette went back to the editing room and emerged with a radically different work which had evolved into an existential mystery populated with stage actors and hippies. The director championed his new film, describing it as “not a digest of the long version, but another film having its own logic: closer to a puzzle or a crossword game, playing less on affectivity and more on rhymes or oppositions, ruptures or connections, caesuras or censorships.”
