Rivette directed movies now on DVD

Three excellent films by French New Wave filmmaker Jacques Rivette (Bluebell, €21.99 each) have just been released.

'Wuthering Heights' has a Gallic touch, with events shifting to 1930s France to disturb purists, but it nonetheless proves absorbing; Jane Birkin and Geraldine Chaplin star in 'Love on the Ground', which looks at the film and theatre debate; while Rivette’s outstanding 'Gang of Four' finds four actresses whose professionalism gets the better of them when they allow their characters to seep into their private lives.
