Events take a disturbing turn when a menacing groundskeeper (Peter Vaughan) interrupts their time together, and a woman’s body is found in the mansion’s lake. Barbet Schroeder’s striking second feature explores the limits of experience and freedom, journeying into the Great Unknown accompanied by Pink Floyd’s especially composed soundtrack, later released as the album Obscured By Clouds. The Vernachair is a superbly versatile aid allowing the patient to use it as a commode, sani chair and shower chair all in one.It’s assured filmmaking with the occasional impressive flourish – a trademark of Anthony Asquith’s directorial style.

Station controller Heidi Dawson said: “Mark and Simon’s unique partnership has been an important part of BBC Radio 5 Live for 21 years. Twenty-one years is a long time to be clogging up the schedules and we have decided – and to be clear, no one else has decided – to … step away, to withdraw, to spread our wings, to exit pursued by a bear. Jacques Rivette’s biggest commercial hit is an exhilarating combination of the themes of theatricality, paranoia and ‘la vie parisienne’, all wrapped up in an extended and entrancing examination of the nature of filmmaking and film watching.
