Director Jacques Rivette presents VA SAVOIR, a masterful piece of filmmaking that combines classic cinematic techniques with elements of the stage, resulting in a majestic and formidable film. A French theater actress, Camille (Jeanne Balibar), has been living in Italy for three years. She enjoys much success working abroad as a bilingual actress, and has fallen in love with her Italian co-star, Ugo (Sergio Castellito), who is also the director of her acting troop. But when Ugo announces that the play they're performing, AS YOU DESIRE ME by Luigi Pirandello, will tour to Paris, Camille responds with nervous confusion, and suddenly the past she left behind in Paris comes rushing back to her.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
It's all very French, very intricate, and -- this is Rivette's magic -- seemingly as light as air.
Variety
An entrancing ensemble piece, directed with calm assurance, acted by a fine ensemble, and structured and scripted with wit and precision.
