Interesting facts

Noroît is a 1976 experimental adventure fantasy drama directed by Jacques Rivette. The title is an alteration of nord-ouest (north-west), meaning the direction or the wind from that direction. The story is loosely based on Thomas Middleton's The Revenger's Tragedy. The film stars Geraldine Chaplin and Bernadette Lafont as pirates. Noroît would have followed Duelle (1976) as the third episode of the intended four-film series Scènes de la vie parallèle.

Production

The film was shot in 1975 in Brittany in a 15th-century chateau and round a 12th-century coastal fortress.

The stylistic model for the film was based on Fritz Lang's Moonfleet.
