Duelle (Une Quarantaine)
1976 · TMDB 6.9 · Duelle (une quarantaine)
Directed by Jacques Rivette
Two enigmatic women, both with a hidden but shared motive, separately arrive in Paris. As they navigate the city and their search progresses, various characters become entangled within their conflict, one which increasingly comes to take a fantastical turn. These characters too, driven by their own desires, strive for their own goals in the fight. From a Paris, drenched in an otherworldly ambiance, a tale of desire and power emerges through mystery.

Jacques Rivette's dreamlike fantasy, in which two goddesses (Juliet Berto and Bulle Ogier) walk the streets of Paris searching for a magical diamond, their conflict unfolding in a narrative that refuses to explain itself. A film about performance, ritual and the withheld solution...
