Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
This uncertain first feature from Jacques Rivette from 1961 grew on me -- but it took a while.

Guardian
[Rivette] doesn't as fervently abandon conventional narrative in the same way Godard was so fond of, making for New Wave-flavored thrillers that are far more casual and certainly more watchable.

Rating: 3/4 --
Rivette was perhaps more of a prognosticator than he realized, anticipating the downfall of the very movement he was involved in before it had effectively begun.

Slant Magazine
Jacques Rivette's troubled and troubling account of Parisians in the late 50s remains in some ways the most intellectually and philosophically mature of them as well as one of the most beautiful.

Chicago Reader
The movie is a time capsule that is worth opening up to sniff the mood of its age.

Observer (UK)
All this is overblown, making it pretentious, slow-moving and fairly confused. It takes much too long to tell its over-complicated story.

Variety
Rating: B+ --
Despite its frustrating use of vague suspense and being overblown, Rivette's debut is sound both intellectually and philosophically.

Product Description:
PARIS NOUS APPARTIENT begins at the end-with a mysterious suicide. Curious as to why a young Spaniard would take his own life, Betty Schneider visits many of the places frequented by the dead youth. She learns from theatre-director Giani Esposito that the suicide victim was part of a sinister international conspiracy. She further learns from American-expatriate Daniel Crohem that Esposito has also been targeted for persecution by the conspirators. By the time Schneider realizes that the conspiracy was merely a figment of the neurotic Crohem's imagination, the terrified Esposito has killed himself. The intrigues of the plot take second place to the film's centerpiece: an eternally-in-progress stage production of Shakespeare's PERICLES, PRINCE OF TYRE. Now regarded as one of the pioneering efforts in the French "New Wave" movement, PARIS BELONGS TO US was also the first feature-length effort of director (and former critic and film theorist) Jacques Rivette.
