The Duchess of Langeais was one of the few masterpieces I've seen in awhile; a wonderful film.

Does anyone know what his next project is, or what it's about?

Here's some story:

But other sources claim it's a Raymond Roussel's biopic (sort of, I guess), and Birkin is to play his mother:

Title as it is for now:
36 Vues Du Pic Saint-Loup
36 Views from the Pic Saint-Loup

According to Unifrance.org:

release date -

16/9/2009

synopsis -

On the eve of the start of the summer tour, the owner and founder of a small circus dies suddenly. The troupe, in an attempt to save the season, decides to call upon the owner's eldest daughter, Kate. Chance puts an Italian on her path - Vittorio. He will integrate the life of the troupe, so much so that he will become part of the show. He will try to pierce Kate's secret : why did she leave the circus in the past, and why did she accept to come back… At the end of the tour each will go his own way. But which way is that?

It sounds like a cross between Lola Montès and Le carosse d`or.I was hoping it would be a Raymond Roussel bio.

Cinema is the question minus the answer

Actually, I'm really pleased to hear this - wasn't sure that a biopic sounded that appealing. Even sounded a little dull considering Rivette's oeuvre. This sounds way more interesting.

What??
84 minutes?
Surely not.....It can't be. Really.

[–] Ethan_Ford 15 years ago

Yes,his shortest feature.Usually it takes him 84 minutes just to set the scene and establish the characters,but perhaps age is beginning to take its toll.

Probably his most experimental film in years - in terms of running time at least:)
