Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2)
Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2) is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2017, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Drawing together footage, photographs and texts from archival sources as well as the artist’s personal collection of materials, Yto Barrada’s new film is as much a poetic enigma as it is a portrait of identity. Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2) takes as its starting point the work and life of Thérèse Rivière (1901–1970), a French anthropologist whose remarkable working life was cut short following her confinement in psychiatric institutions.
