Paris Belongs to Us
Paris Belongs to Us French Paris nous appartient , sometimes translated as Paris Is Ours is a 1960 French mystery film directed by Jacques Rivette and starring Betty Schneider. Begun in 1957 and completed three years later, it was thencritic Rivettes first fulllength film as a director and one of the first works of the French New Wave, though it was not released theatrically until 1961.
Writing in the film journal Senses of Cinema, critic Hamish Ford said of the film ...for me at least, his debut feature is a perfect film in its way. If the first work of a long career should, at least in the oeuvrecharting rearvision mirror, offer an appropriately characteristic or even perhaps idiosyncratic entry point into a distinct filmworld, then Paris nous appartient is indeed a perfect first Rivette in its combination of formal daring and conceptual elusiveness.
