His 1988 film, GANG OF FOUR, which won the Berlin International Film Festival that year, mixes elements of drama and mystery. 4 film students--studying under a famous film critic named Constance Dumas, move into a small house together. When one of them is brutally attacked and then rescued by a mystery person, she comes to realize that this stranger has some secret involvement with her 3 increasingly menacing housemates. [More]

Reviews for Gang of Four
More classical and less experimental than [Rivette's] previous features, it's almost a summary and compilation of his major themes and preoccupations -- an ideal introduction to his work.
This lengthy 155 minute work by Jacques Rivette is both brilliant and frustrating.
An intriguing, if somewhat overextended, melodrama that delves into Pirandellian questions of real versus theatrical life, and considers the nature of deception and fate.
