Description:

A magical fantasy world by master filmmaker Jacques Rivette. A time of vertigo and pleasure in cinema... A surreal fantasy of freedom by Jacques Rivette, the genius of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) that revolutionized cinema. Set in contemporary Paris, this fantasy pits the Queen of the Sun against the Queen of the Moon over a magic stone that will allow her to live on earth. Inspired by Gérard de Nerval's novel, Rivette conceived of a four-part series called "Daughters of Fire," including a love story, a crime drama, a western, and a musical comedy, of which this film is the "crime drama. This film is the "crime drama" of the four parts. It is an outlandish fairy tale with challenging film noir elements, and achieves a poetic beauty. The two dueling women are played by Rivette regulars Juliette Bert and Burle Auger.
