Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)
Directed by Peter Webber
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Themes
And if Webber hasnât quite given us a study of painter and muse to rival the explosive agony of, say, Jacques Rivetteâs La Belle Noiseuse, he does spin a slight but considerably enchanting tale of impossible romance and artistic discovery.
Its story of romantic repression and artistic inspiration is somewhat trite, especially in comparison to a superior film about painting like Jacques Rivette�s La Belle Noiseuse.
The Duke of Burgundy (2015)
Directed by Peter Strickland
influenced by Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974), The Duchess of Langeais (2007)
Visuals Plot
Writer/director Peter Strickland's ("Berberian Sound Studio") latest begins with a bit of an ick factor as his opening lesbian S&M scenario ends with a behind-closed-door 'punishment' that sounds dreadful, but trust in this auteur as "The Duke of Burgundy" (a type of butterfly) blossoms into a louche hothouse Gothic that plays like Dario Argento's "Celine and Julie Go Boating" or Peter Greenaway's "Angels and Insects."
That’s largely a credit to the performances of D’Anna and Knudsen, who play things straight (so to speak), and who communicate volumes about their characters through the subtlest variations on their endlessly repeated scene — a structure that gives the movie a glancing connection with Jacques Rivette’s classic “Celine and Julie Go Boating.”
With a title that makes it sound like an 18th-century costume drama—perhaps a cousin to Jacques Rivette’s recent Balzac adaptation, The Duchess Of Langeais —and a marketing campaign that sells it as kinky erotica, Peter Strickland’s The Duke Of Burgundy risks attracting exactly the wrong crowd.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Directed by David Yates
influenced by Out 1 (1990)
Visuals
After a perfunctory couple of shots lifted from the end of the first installment of The Deathly Hallows , the film begins in earnest with a scene of slow, quiet urgency at an oceanfront cottage that could have been imported from Jacques Rivette’s Out 1 .
The Artist and the Model (2012)
Directed by Fernando Trueba
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Themes Plot
But dawdling along as it does, “The Artist and the Model” merely calls attention to all the films that have covered the same ground, most of them just as slow and serene, most of them drawn to exactly the same details about the process of creation (“La belle noiseuse” may be the most carefully observed, and the most tedious).
You'd be forgiven for thinking we're talking about Jacques Rivette's great 1991 film "La belle noiseuse," but this less momentous telling of a similar tale bears the appropriately more prosaic title "The Artist and the Model."
“La Belle Noiseuse,” Jacques Rivette’s greater film with a similar plot, showed the tension and power dynamics in this sort of symbiotic creation through the relationships of two bodies in one space.
It is most fascinating in its setups and silences; the delayed introduction of the painter Frenhoffer (Michel Piccoli) owes a clear debt to Hitchcock's Under Capricorn (a favorite, much deservingly so, of the Cahiers crowd) and the artist's sittings, especially the first, with the physically striking Marianne (Emmanuelle Béart) are masterful disquisitions on the tempestuous relationship between creator and subject.
Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Directed by Charlie Kaufman
influenced by Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974)
Themes
The extent to which he pushes the warehouse scenario goes beyond the work of legendary directors like Jacques Rivette on the ‘film within a film’ (CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING) and takes the audience on a journey that is more than a formalist foray into the meaning of film (or indeed theatre) production for its paricipants.
Last Night in Soho (2021)
Directed by Edgar Wright
influenced by Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974)
Visuals Plot
But at its best there are hints that Wright and excellent co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns have dutifully studied Jacques Rivette’s Celine and Julie Go Boating .
Tell me that characters are travelling magically back through time (as in Celine and Julie Go Boating ) or being possessed by another personality ( The Tenant ) or undergoing a prolonged psychotic episode ( Repulsion ) and I’ll happily believe you.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
Directed by Wes Anderson
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Visuals
The opening of “Concrete” bows to Jacques Rivette’s “La Belle Noiseuse” (1991).
McDormand’s composite Edna St. Vincent Millay figure is similarly facile, as are Del Toro’s tortured-artist intrigues, mixed with Léa Seydoux parodying the nudity in Jacques Rivette’s La Belle Noiseuse, while Adrien Brody lampoons art-savant greed.
Furthermore, the incorrigible voluptuousness of Bertolucci's style could not be further from the hungry, emaciated, heartbroken cinema on the run of Garrel or Eustache (or, for that matter, from the edginess and confusion of aftermath in Rivette's Out 1 [1971] or Doillon's Les Doigts dans la tête [1974]).
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
Directed by Tim Burton
influenced by Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974)
Plot
Inspired to investigate for himself, Jake travels from sunny Florida to foggy Wales, pokes around the rundown mansion where gramps claims to have once lived, and then stumbles backward in time into an eternally repeating day, like the title characters of Jacques Rivette’s Céline And Julie Go Boating.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
Directed by Céline Sciamma
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Themes
Not content to rival Jacques Rivette’s long, extended artist-and-model nude collaboration scenes in the Eighties art-house hit La Belle Noiseuse (an adaptation of Balzac’s The Unknown Masterpiece ), Sciamma betrays her cinematic heritage.
Never Look Away (2018)
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Think of the great Michel Piccoli, for whom Emmanuelle Béart so patiently posed, hour upon hour, in Jacques Rivette’s “La Belle Noiseuse” (1991), and whose intensity, like Mühe’s, never flagged.
Phantom Thread (2017)
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
influenced by La Belle Noiseuse (1991)
Themes
But “Phantom Thread” has just as much in common with “Rebecca” as with Jacques Rivette’s recently restored “La Belle Noiseuse,” a movie dedicated to the painstaking process of creating art.
A major influence on Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, this 1966 feature is chock-full of female giggling, which might be interpreted in context as the laughter of Medusa: subversive, bracing, energizing, and rather challenging to most male spectators.
