What follows is an introduction I was asked to give for Jacques Rivette’s Out 1 (1971) in February 2016 at The Cinematheque in Vancouver occasioned by the film’s restoration and long anticipated commercial release. By coincidence, the screening took place one week after Rivette’s death. I had been unable to see the film despite years of wishing to and although I was offered a screener to watch ahead of the screening, I could not pass up the opportunity to see it first on the big screen along with everyone else.
