John Gielgud stars as Clive Langham, a drunken author in failing health who spends an increasingly intoxicated evening at his Rhode Island estate working on his new novel. Clive bases the characters in the melodramatic story on his own family, including his two sons, Claude (Dirk Bogarde) and the illegitimate Kevin (David Warner), as well as Claude's wife Sonia (Ellen Burstyn). Imagining a bitter love triangle full of spite between the three protagonists of his tale, Clive uses generous doses of imagination and symbolism, including a discordant soccer player related to Kevin and werewolves. When his real-life family appears for a meal with Clive, however, they are not quite the embittered, devious players in the author's booze-fueled fiction. Although dividing critics between those delighted with Resnais' comic flourishes and others annoyed by his arty pretensions, Providence swept the Cesar Awards, France's Oscar equivalent, winning seven including Best Director for Resnais. -AMG Ripped by CosmoVitelli ********************************* FREAKYFLICKS ********************************** Freakyflicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.

I think this is a much longer film (the description says 30 min). 1.37 GiB is a bit too large for a 30-min XVID rip! Please comment...

Providence is indeed 103 mins, as is this rip.
Thanks to the Uler for this rare masterpiece.
Alain Resnais 1922-2014, RIP
