Starlet Rivals

Working chronologically through her nineteen films, made between 1966 and 1985, this collection of reflections by Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) includes non-standard press releases, notes to her actors, letters to funders, short essays on themes as provocatively capacious as 'mothers' and 'witches', as well as some of the most significant interviews she gave about her cinematic and writing practices (with filmmakers and critics including Jacques Rivette, Caroline Champetier and Jean Narboni).
