Daniel Kremer on

Celine and Julie Go Boating

Released 1978
Distributor New Yorker Films

Jacques Rivette’s 1974 film is a playful puzzle-box fantasy about two women and their adventures in a time-traveling mystery house. Starring Dominique Labourier and Juliet Berto, Rivette’s riff on Alice in Wonderland won critical raves though its convoluted construction kept it off the drive-in circuit.

About Daniel Kremer

San Francisco filmmaker Daniel Kremer has provided audio commentary tracks for Kino Lorber, Shout! Factory, AGFA, and Scorpion disc releases, and essays for Twilight Time special editions. His acclaimed epic-length film Overwhelm the Sky (2019), adapted from a 1799 American Gothic novel, was screened internationally in classic  roadshow format, complete with overture, intermission, and printed souvenir programs. These deluxe screenings received  many accolades before Kino Lorber acquired distribution rights. Kremer's book Sidney J. Furie: Life and Films was published through Patrick McGilligan's Screen Classics Series in 2015. He is currently under contract at Oxford University Press for the first book about Joan Micklin Silver. His other films include the independent dramas Raise Your Kids on Seltzer (2015) and Ezer Kenegdo (2017). He  enjoys doing commentary tracks with fellow TFH guru Allan Arkush.
