Out 1 (Episodes 1 – 4)

Directed by Jacques Rivette

Out 1 is one of the crowning achievements of the recently deceased Rivette’s remarkable career. Conceived as a television mini-series, this near-thirteenth-hour monolith consists of eight  feature-length episodes revolving around two theatre troupes, blackmail and conspiracy. Multiple characters introduce multiple plotlines, weaving a rich tapestry across an epic runtime. Originally screened just the once in its full-length version in 1971.
