      Audience Member Very theatrical and the music was played live on the set. Imagine Bernadette Lafont and Geraldine Chaplin as pirates, living on an island, lost in the altantic, and Chaplin bound to avenge the death of her brother killed by the merciless Giulia (Lafont). Rivette did an impressive piece of work and the cinematography is stunning. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly strange and haunting film, one of the first of his I saw. Women pirates, a hint of the occult. Basically indescribable and almost never shown... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The most theatrical Rivette I've seen thus far (complete with Act # inter-titles!), and one of the most bizarre films I've seen. It's an anachronistic gynocentric pirate film that combines avant garde theater and Jacobean revenge play. It's shot in gorgeous eurotrash cinematography by William Lubchansky. The idea of having a live band perform the soundtrack in every scene is genius. Take note, Gore Verbinski. This is how you make a pirate film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member See it back to back with Duelle. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/07 Full Review Audience Member im gonna stop eating beans Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/07 Full Review Audience Member Female pirates! Cyril Tourneur!

      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader ...beautifully textured and intensely realized reveries that obstinately evade all our usual methods of understanding and appropriation... Rated: 4/4 May 26, 2022 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The movie is best appreciated as a record of formidable female performers vibing with and against each other.
