Small French poster for the 1976 French experimental fantasy drama film
Duelle, directed by Jacques Rivette. The film's original title also included the subtitle (Une quarantaine).
Overview
Title: Duelle (or Twhylight, an assigned English title combining "twilight" and "why")
Director: Jacques Rivette
Starring: Juliet Berto as Leni (Queen of the Night) and Bulle Ogier as Viva (Queen of the Sun)
Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Mystery, Experimental
Synopsis: Two immortal female celestial beings, the Queen of the Sun and the Queen of the Night, are limited to 40 days on Earth per year. They engage in a battle in modern-day Paris over a magical diamond that will allow the winner to remain on Earth permanently. A few ordinary human characters become entangled in their surreal, film noir-style conflict.
The poster prominently features images of the two lead actresses, reflecting the central "duel" (a feminine neologism for the word "duel") between their characters. |
