Up, Down, Fragile

1995, 2h 49min -

During a sultry Paris summer, the lives of three young women—shy librarian Ida (Laurence Côte), searching for her birth parents; wealthy Louise (Marianne Denicourt), looking for her footing after emerging from a five-year coma; and former sex worker Ninon (Nathalie Richard), trying to restart her life with a new career—will intersect in surprising fashion. Jacques Rivette’s sprightly homage to 1950s Hollywood musicals is a delightful, slyly shape-shifting variation on his signature themes of female friendship and the often mysterious interplay between life and fantasy.
