Order of the Exile @ 1.

Order of the Exile: Concerning the Films of Jacques Rivette celebrates its first anniversary with its heftiest update yet. For starters, there's a 1981 interview with Rivette conducted by Serge Daney and Jean Narboni, appearing in English for the first time, thanks to Louisa Shea.

David Pratt-Robson, assisted by Jeremi Szaniawski, translates two pieces by Rivette, "On Abjection" and "The Kill."

Another quick punch comes via Andreas Volkert.

Liz Heron translates Rivette's "Age of metteurs en scene," which appeared in Cahiers du cinéma in 1954.

Sally Shafto has something of a Rivette primer, "Noli me tangere: Jacques Rivette, Out 1, and the New Wave."

Craig Keller translates excerpts from Jean-Marc Lalanne and Jean-Baptiste Morain's March 2007 interview with Rivette for Les Inrockuptibles.
