AROUND A SMALL MOUNTAIN
(36 Vues Du Pic Saint‐Loup)
a film by JACQUES RIVETTE
On a winding mountain road, Vittorio stops to help Kate, whose car has broken down. After gallantly making the repair, without a single word spoken, he speeds off. Later in town, Vittorio learns that Kate has returned to join her family’s traveling circus after leaving under mysterious conditions many years ago. Intrigued by her story, Vittorio stays for the show, and the next one, and little by little, is ingratiated into the circus and the lives of its performers – all the while trying to discover the secret that led to Kate’s sudden departure.
Around a Small Mountain (36 Vues Du Pic Saint‐Loup) premiered at the 2009 Venice Film Festival and was an official selection of the 2009 New York Film Festival. It stars Jane Birkin and Sergio Castellitto.
