Released in 1950, The Quadrille is a notable film directed by Jacques Rivette, running about 40 minutes.

What it’s about. Though Godard got a little money from his family, he admitted that the money that went into Rivette’s film came from stealing and selling books from his grandfather Monod’s “Valérianum”. The film featured four actors: two women and two men, one of them Godard. According to Rivette, “It ran 40 minutes and nothing happens. It’s just four people sitting around a table, looking at each other. After ten minutes, people started to leave, and at the end, the only ones who stayed were Jean-Luc and a girl.” (Richard Brody)

Who’s in it. The Quadrille stars Jean-Luc Godard as Self, Anne-Marie Cazalis as Self, Liliane Litvin as Self and François Nithart as Self.
