Celine and Julie Go Boating (region-B Blu-ray)

1974 French comedy drama in which two young women meet under an odd set of circumstances and discover that they are freakishly connected to each other. Somehow, Celine (Juliet Berto) and Julie (Dominique Labourier) keep stumbling into a kind of parallel reality with familiar surroundings, however they soon realise that they are no longer in the present day when they enter this other version of their world. After a young girl is murdered, the women realise that the sweets they keep finding in their mouths after arriving back into present day is the key to going back in time and saving her. But when the past is altered, will the future still be the same? Celine and Julie Go Boating, Rivette's biggest commercial hit, is an exhilarating examination of the themes of theatricality, paranoia and la vie Parisienne, all wrapped up in an extended and entrancing exploration of the nature of filmmaking and film-watching. This edition from BFI also includes numerous bonus features.
