Jacques Rivette and Claude Chabrol: their film preferences

Jacques Rivette and Claude Chabrol: their film preferences

Philippe LABRO receives some of the Nouvelle vague filmmakers, former critics of the Cahiers du cinéma, and asks each of them three identical questions: What was the film that marked them when they were critics, what was one of their favourite films and what film they would dream of making? Jacques RIVETTE said he had been marked by "Voyage en Italie" by Rossellini and preferred among his films "Paris is ours" because it is the first. He says he doesn’t know what movie he’s dreaming of making... Claude CHABROL says he was marked by Murnau’s "Aurore", preferring the swimming pool scene in his film "Les bonnes femmes" and the film he dreams of making is the one he is currently preparing... but "there are always difficulties when you dream of making a film... money problems".
