Spectacle is back! And how better to hack away at your deficit of hours missed in the dark with strangers than a marathon screening of Jacques Rivette’s colossal New Wave touchstone, OUT 1.

Set in “Paris and its double,” Rivette’s improvisation-heavy film follows two theater troupes reimagining Aeschylus’s tragedies as gestural avant-garde theater. Their rehearsals intersect with two swindlers who uncover (or don’t) a string of conspiratorial messages (or not) hinting to the existence of a secret organization (or nobody). Inquiries abound, solutions, not so much, as a post-’68 malaise motivates energies of paranoia and discovery in this durational dissection of reality (or this thing that looks like it). This marathon screening will mark OUT 1’s return to Spectacle 11 years after it was first shown here in 2010, well before its 2015 restoration made it widely available.
