01
The Mother and the Whore
Why this pick
Like Rivette’s film, this is a demanding, intimate study of romantic entanglement, played in extended scenes where conversation, hesitation and shifting desire become the drama.

Out 1
Why this pick
Rivette expands the improvisatory, theatre-inflected openness of L’Amour fou into a vast Parisian ensemble: fractured performances, conspiratorial play and relationships that evolve in real time.
03
Celine and Julie Go Boating
Why this pick
Its freewheeling performances and porous boundary between play-acting and lived experience make it a lighter but equally exploratory companion to L’Amour fou.
04
A Woman Under the Influence
Why this pick
For the same raw immersion in a couple’s emotional instability, Cassavetes uses volatile, actor-led scenes that refuse easy diagnosis or tidy resolution.
05
Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles
Why this pick
A rigorously patient portrait of domestic routine and mounting strain, it shares L’Amour fou’s willingness to let duration reveal psychological pressure.
