1961137039Paris: Ajym Films 1961. Original French moyenne poster affiche for the 1961 French film. Winner of the 1962 Sutherland Trophy for best first or second feature by the British Film Institute. Scarce with only two copies found in Cine-ressources. <br/><br/>A labor of love released after numerous financial woes and a three-year production schedule "Paris Belongs to Us" did not cause the same stir as did the debuts of Rivette's "Cahiers du Cinema" peers though today it is seen as a film with an importance on the same level as the first works of Truffaut Godard and Chabrol. <br/><br/>Rivette retained his post at the journal throughout the 1960s even serving as editor from 1963 to 1965 as the French New Wave was in full swing. It wasn't until the start of the 1970s that Rivette's filmmaking career took off but the sensibilities and aesthetic values behind beloved masterpieces such as "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and "La belle noiseuse" are well on display in an exceptional first effort. <br/><br/>Rivette's career is generally defined by his adherence to long-form storytelling and a sense of structural reflexivity. This first feature serves as a perfect preamble to the epics that followed offering early insight into his sense for both larger scope and narrative complexity. At a confident 140 minutes the runtime of "Paris Belongs to Us" is roughly 40 minutes longer than any other first feature of the French New Wave though it pales in comparison to his later work particularly the twelve-hour "Out 1". Further with its focus on a theatrical Shakespeare production Rivette uses film to comment on its relationship to the stage a theme he would address in future films. <br/><br/>Set and shot in the streets and apartments of Paris. <br/><br/>23 x 31.5 inches folded as issued. Small exhibitor or distributor stamp to recto and verso. About Near Fine with small clean staple holes at corners and vertical fold very minor fold separation at edges and center. A wonderful of example of an unrestored and scarce poster for a landmark debut feature. <br/><br/>BFI 656. Ajym Films unknown books

1960139609Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1960. Original conceptual artwork the 1960 film. Featuring a drawing of Burt Lancaster with Audrey Hepburn clasped against him. Based on the 1957 novel by Alan Le May. <br /> <br /> In many ways a reflection on John Ford's 1956 film "The Searchers" which was also based on an Alan Le May novel "The Unforgiven" tells the story of a woman taken from her Native American tribe and raised by a white family. She struggles with her allegiance towards her adoptive family and her feelings towards another white man and a bloody battle ensues between the two communities. An uncommon film for its time it highlights the racism Native Americans had to endure from settlers of the Old West. <br /> <br /> A difficult shoot which included a severe back injury sustained by Audrey Hepburn when she fell off a horse director John Huston was unhappy with his producer's insistence on releasing a more commercially friendly film. While<br /> Hepburn and Huston would both eventually distance themselves from the film "The Unforgiven" remains a bold powerfully raw take on the Western with arguably some of the best performances of many of the actors involved. <br /> <br /> 20 x 25.5 inches.
