Essays and Criticism The primary focus of this section will be on critical writings about Rivette's films, which might sound perverse seeing as Rivette and his Nouvelle Vague-era contemporaries are known for their own critical writings. Not to fear! This section also contains a sizeable selection of Rivette's reviews, though it is nowhere near an exhaustive catalogue of all of Rivette's Cahiers writings. For those who are interested in all of Rivette's personal writings for Cahiers, Arts and other publications, the Bibliography section contains a complete listing of his published work. All the articles are listed alphabetically -- since, to quote Xenophon, shit happens when you party alphabetically.
