Filmography

Feature films

Along with Out 1, La Belle noiseuse, and Va savoir, Rivette also at one point cut an alternate version of L'Amour fou, while the current version of L'Amour par terre was cut from a longer and preferred version of the film. Duelle and Noroît were two episodes from an intended four part series "Scenes from a Parallel Life" and Histoire de Marie et Julien was later loosely based on an unfilmed episode. Due to the rare nature of Rivette's works, many DVDs (such as the Region 1 Facets release of Jeanne la pucelle) are from edited or otherwise incomplete versions of his films.
