Richard Brody The New Yorker Jacques Rivette鈥檚 career-long exploration of the art and lives of stage actors reaches its emotional peak in the 1989 drama 鈥淕ang of Four." Jul 17, 2023 Full Review Jake Cole Slant Magazine Contrary to something like method acting, of a performer digging entirely into the lived reality of a character, <em>The Gang of Four</em> sees the art as reliant on the personal lives and hang-ups that an actor might subconsciously bring to a part.

Todor V. D The Gang of Four is a very stylish French film that masterfully plays with color, transitioning from vibrant reds to cool blues in the latter half, creating a captivating visual narrative. This intimate film offers a profound exploration of relationships and the complexities of human emotion, enhanced by amazing cinematography that evokes a warm Parisian atmosphere. The beautifully crafted scene at the train station and the stunning visuals in front of the oval windows, offering an incredible view of the city, elevate the film鈥檚 aesthetic. Rivette鈥檚 direction transforms it into a true masterpiece, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its visual and emotional depth.
