Celine and Julie Go Boating Céline and Julie Go Boating ( French : Céline et Julie vont en bateau: Phantom Ladies Over Paris )

102-622: A Spanish-suited deck was produced around 1820 by Giacomo Recchi of Oneglia , Liguria and destined for Sardinia . The plain suit cards are copied from the Sardinian pattern designed just ten years earlier by José Martinez de Castro for Clemente Roxas in Madrid but with the addition of 10s and queens. The trumps are largely copied from an early version of the Tarocco Piemontese . At that time, Liguria, Sardinia, and Piedmont were all territories of

153-458: A cabaret audition. The second half of the film centers on the duo's individual visits to 7 bis, rue du Nadir-aux-Pommes, the address of a mansion in a quiet, walled off grounds in Paris. While seemingly empty and closed in the present day, the house is yet where Céline realizes she knows as the place where she works as a nanny for a family—two jealous sisters, one widower, and a sickly child. Soon,

204-510: A family of games that includes German Grosstarok and modern games such as French Tarot and Austrian Königrufen . In the late 18th century French occultists made elaborate, but unsubstantiated, claims about their history and meaning, leading to the emergence of custom decks for use in divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy . Thus, there are two distinct types of tarot packs in circulation: those used for card games and those used for divination. However, some older patterns, such as

255-524: A great pace (for instance, sprinting up Montmartre to keep pace with Céline's tram). After adventures following Céline around the Parisian streets—at one point it looks as if they have gone their separate ways, never to meet up again—Céline finally decides to move in with Julie. There are incidents of identity swapping, with Céline pretending to be Julie to meet the latter's childhood sweetheart, for example, and Julie attempting to fill in for Céline at

306-428: A park bench, who catches sight of Julie hurrying past her, who in her White Rabbit way, drops her magic book. Picking it up, she calls and runs after Julie. Magic is one of the themes of the film. Céline, the stage magician, does her magic tricks in a nightclub performance. Magic seems to come too from Julie's Tarot card readings. Finally, "real" magic comes from the design of a potion, which enables both women to enter

357-474: A repetitive pattern emerges: Céline or Julie enters the house, disappears for a time, and then is suddenly ejected by unseen hands back to present day Paris later that same day. Each time either Céline or Julie is exhausted, having forgotten everything that has happened during their time in the house. However, each time upon returning via a taxi the women discover a candy mysteriously lodged in their mouth. It seems to be important, so each makes sure to carefully save

408-472: A rowboat on a placid river, rowing and gliding happily along, but something isn't quite right. They go silent upon seeing another boat quickly coming to pass them on the water. On that boat we see the three main protagonists from the house-of-another-time: that alternate reality has followed them back to their world. But Céline, Julie, and Madlyn see them as the antique props they are, frozen in place. The film ends as we watch Céline this time, half nodding off on

459-439: A score of 100 out of 100, based on 4 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Tarot card Tarot ( / ˈ t ær oʊ / , first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks ) is a pack of playing cards , used from at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini . From their Italian roots, tarot-playing cards spread to most of Europe, evolving into

510-413: A sermon in the 15th century, no routine condemnations of tarot were found during its early history. Because the earliest tarot cards were hand-painted, the number of the decks produced is thought to have been small. It was only after the invention of the printing press that mass production of cards became possible. The expansion of tarot outside of Italy, first to France and Switzerland, occurred during

561-624: A text by John of Rheinfelden in 1377 from Freiburg im Breisgau , who, in addition to other versions, describes the basic pack as containing the still-current 4 suits of 13 cards, the courts usually being the King, Ober and Unter ("marshals"), although Dames and Queens were already known by then. An early pattern of playing cards used the suits of batons or clubs, coins, swords, and cups. These suits are still used in traditional Italian , Spanish and Portuguese playing card decks, and are also used in modern (occult) tarot divination cards that first appeared in

612-751: Is a 1974 French film directed by Jacques Rivette . The film stars Dominique Labourier as Julie and Juliet Berto as Céline. It won the Special Prize of the Jury at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1974 and was an Official Selection at the 1974 New York Film Festival . The film begins with Julie sitting on a park bench reading a book of magic spells when a woman (Céline) walks past, and begins dropping (à la Lewis Carroll 's White Rabbit ) various possessions. Julie begins picking them up, and tries to follow Céline around Paris, sometimes at

663-463: Is among Rivette's more acclaimed works. The film tied for #78 in the British Film Institute 's 2022 Sight & Sound poll, and the aggregation site They Shoot Pictures, Don't They has found it to be the 142nd greatest movie ever made. Rotten Tomatoes reports 80% approval among 54 critics, with an average rating of 7.9/10. On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film

714-523: Is the highest followed by 10, king, Ober, Unter, then 9 to 6. The heart suit is the default trump suit. The Bavarian pack is also used to play Schafkopf by excluding the Sixes. In English-speaking countries where these games are not widely played, only specially designed cartomantic tarot cards, used primarily for novelty and divination , are readily available. The early French occultists claimed that tarot cards had esoteric links to ancient Egypt , Kabbalah ,

765-530: Is the only deck to use the so-called Portuguese suit system , which uses Spanish pips but intersects them like Italian pips. Some of the trumps are different such as the lowest trump, Miseria (destitution). It omits the Two and Three of coins, and numerals one to four in clubs, swords and cups: it thus has 64 cards, but the ace of coins is not used, being the bearer of the former stamp tax . The cards are quite small and not reversible. The sole surviving example of

816-562: The Bavarian and Franconian pattern. These are not true tarot packs, but standard 36-card German-suited decks for games like German Tarok , Bauerntarock , Württemberg Tarock and Bavarian Tarock . Until the 1980s there were also Tarock packs in the Württemberg pattern. There are 36 cards; the pip cards ranging from 6 to 10, Under Knave ( Unter ), Over Knave ( Ober ), King, and Ace. These use ace–ten ranking , like klaverjas , where ace

867-629: The Italian Wars . The most prominent tarot deck version used in these two countries was the Tarot of Marseilles , of Milanese origin. While the set of trumps was generally consistent, their order varied by region, perhaps as early as the 1440s. Michael Dummett placed them into three categories. In Bologna and Florence , the highest trump is the Angel , followed by the World . This group spread mainly southward through

918-524: The Minor Arcana , terms not used by players of tarot card games . The 78-card tarot deck used by esotericists has two distinct parts: The terms "Major Arcana" and "Minor Arcana" were first used by Jean-Baptiste Pitois (also known as Paul Christian) and are never used in relation to tarot card games. Some decks exist primarily as artwork, and such art decks sometimes contain only the 22 Major Arcana. The three most common decks used in esoteric tarot are

969-522: The New York Times in 2012 wrote that the internal part of the film story is an adaptation of Henry James' story " The Other House " and that the film was an inspiration for Susan Seidelman 's Desperately Seeking Susan and Sara Driver 's Sleepwalk . He also points out similarity of themes in David Lynch 's Lost Highway , Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire . Celine and Julie Go Boating

1020-662: The Papal States , the Kingdom of Naples , and finally down to the Kingdom of Sicily but was also known in the Savoyard states . In Ferrara, the World was the highest, followed by Justice and the Angel. This group spread mainly to the northeast to Venice and Trento where it was only a passing fad. By the end of the 16th century, this order became extinct. In Milan , the World was highest, followed by

1071-459: The Savoyard state . French-suited tarot decks are known as the oldest decks used for the Tarot. With the exception of novelty decks, French-suited tarot cards are almost exclusively used for card games . The earliest French-suited tarot decks were made by the de Poilly family of engravers, beginning with a Minchiate deck by François de Poilly in the late 1650s. Aside from these early outliers,

1122-466: The Tarot de Marseille , originally intended for playing card games, are also used for cartomancy. Like the common playing cards, tarot has four suits that vary by region: French suits are used in western, central and eastern Europe, and Latin suits in southern Europe. Each suit has 14 cards: ten pip cards numbering from one (or Ace ) to ten; and four face cards : King , Queen , Knight , and Jack/Knave/Page . In addition, and unlike standard packs,

1173-629: The Tarot of Marseilles (a playing card pack), the Rider–Waite Tarot , and the Thoth Tarot . Aleister Crowley , who devised the Thoth deck along with Lady Frieda Harris , stated of the tarot: "The origin of this pack of cards is very obscure. Some authorities seek to put it back as far as the ancient Egyptian Mysteries; others try to bring it forward as late as the fifteenth or even the sixteenth century ... [but] The only theory of ultimate interest about

1224-556: The 15 or so decks of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot painted in the mid-15th century for the rulers of the Duchy of Milan . In 15th century Italy, the set of cards that was included in tarot packs, including trumps, seems to have been consistent, even if naming and ordering varied. There are two main exceptions: Although a Dominican preacher inveighed against the evil inherent in playing cards, chiefly because of their use in gambling, in

1275-513: The Angel; this ordering is used in the Tarot of Marseilles . Dummett also wrote about a possible fourth lineage that may have existed along the Franco-Italian border. It spread north through France until its last descendant, the Belgian Tarot, went extinct around 1800. In Florence, an expanded deck called Minchiate was later used. This deck of 97 cards includes astrological symbols and

1326-509: The Cego Adler pack manufactured by ASS Altenburger and one with genre scenes by F.X. Schmid , which may reflect the mainstream German cards of the 19th century. Current French-suited tarot decks come in these patterns: From the late 18th century, in addition to producing their own true Tarot packs, the south German states manufactured German-suited packs labeled "Taroc", "Tarock" or "Deutsch-Tarok". These survive as "Schafkopf/Tarock" packs of

1377-531: The Fool and 21 trumps (then called trionfi ) being added to the standard Italian pack of four suits: batons , coins , cups and swords . Scholarship has established that the early European cards were probably based on the Egyptian Mamluk deck invented in or before the 14th century, which followed the introduction of paper from Asia into Western Europe. By the late 1300s, Europeans were producing their own cards,

1428-936: The Iberian Peninsula. Having fallen into decline by the 20th century, they later experienced a renaissance in some countries and regions. For example, French Tarot was largely confined to Provence in the 18th century, but took off in the 1950s to such an extent that, in 1973, the French Tarot Association ( Fédération Française de Tarot ) was formed and French Tarot itself is now the second most popular card game in France. Tarock games like Königrufen have experienced significant growth in Austria where international tournaments are held with other nations, especially those from eastern Europe that still play such games, including Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Denmark appears to be

1479-621: The Iberian peninsula, and the Ottoman Balkans . French tarot experienced another revival, beginning in the 1970s, and France has the strongest tarot gaming community. Regional tarot games—often known as tarock , tarok , or tarokk —are widely played in central Europe within the borders of the former Austro-Hungarian empire . Italian-suited decks were first devised in the 15th century in northern Italy. Three decks of this category are still used to play certain games: The Tarocco Siciliano

1530-454: The Indic Tantra , or I Ching , claims that have been frequently repeated by authors on card divination. However, scholarly research demonstrated that tarot cards were invented in northern Italy in the mid-15th century and confirmed that there is no historical evidence of any significant use of tarot cards for divination until the late 18th century. Historians have described western views of

1581-400: The Tarot pack as "the subject of the most successful propaganda campaign ever launched [...] An entire false history and false interpretation of the Tarot pack was concocted by the occultists and it is all but universally believed." The earliest evidence of a tarot deck used for cartomancy comes from an anonymous manuscript from around 1750 which documents rudimentary divinatory meanings for

1632-428: The candy. At one point, they realize that the candy is a key to the other place and time; sucking on the sweet transports them back to the house's alternative reality (in this case a double reference to both Lewis Carroll and to Marcel Proust 's madeleine ) of the day's events. The remainder of the film consists of the two women attempting to solve the central mystery of the house: amid the jealous conniving of women of

1683-569: The cards of the Tarocco Bolognese . The popularization of esoteric tarot started with Antoine Court and Jean-Baptiste Alliette (Etteilla) in Paris during the 1780s, using the Tarot of Marseilles . French tarot players abandoned the Marseilles tarot in favor of the Tarot Nouveau around 1900, with the result that the Marseilles pattern is now used mostly by cartomancers. Etteilla was

1734-455: The common four-suit pack. These new decks were called carte da trionfi , triumph cards, and the additional cards known simply as trionfi , which became "trumps" in English. The earliest documentation of trionfi is found in a written statement in the court records of Florence , in 1440, regarding the transfer of two decks to Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta . The oldest surviving tarot cards are

1785-586: The earliest patterns being based on the Mamluk deck but with variations to the suit symbols and court cards . The first records of playing cards in Europe date to 1367 in Bern and they appear to have spread very rapidly across the whole of Europe, as may be seen from the records, mainly of card games being banned. Little is known about the appearance and number of these cards, the only significant information being provided by

1836-536: The events unreeling in the house. Finally, in a true act of authorship, they change the ending, and rescue the young girl who was originally murdered. Both realities are fully conjoined when, after their rescue of the girl from the House of Fiction, the two not only discover themselves transported back to Julie's apartment, but this time it isn't another "waking dream" for the young girl, Madlyn, has joined them, safely back in 1970s Paris. To relax, Céline, Julie, and Madlyn take

1887-469: The fifteenth century. The new name first appeared in Brescia around 1502 as Tarocho . During the 16th century, a new game played with a standard deck but sharing a very similar name ( Trionfa ) was quickly becoming popular. This coincided with the older game being renamed tarocchi . In modern Italian, the singular term is Tarocco , which, as a noun, is a cultivar of blood orange . The attribute Tarocco and

1938-739: The film is its use of puns. For instance, the title Céline et Julie vont en bateau has other meanings from that of taking a boat ride: "aller en bateau" also means "to get caught up in a story that someone is telling you" or, in English, getting taken up in a " shaggy dog story ". Luc Béraud was assistant director on the movie. Marilù Parolini worked as the set photographer. The film references Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Henry James' " The Romance of Certain Old Clothes ", Bioy Casares 's La invención de Morel , and Louis Feuillade's Les Vampires (Gaumont, 1915). Dennis Lim of

1989-495: The first generation of French-suited tarots depicted scenes of animals on the trumps and were thus called " Tiertarock " ( Tier being German for "animal") appeared around 1740. Around 1800, a greater variety of decks were produced, mostly with genre art or veduta . The German states used to produce a variety of 78-card tarot packs using Italian suits, but later switching to French suited cards; some were imported to France. There remain only two French-suited patterns of Cego packs -

2040-504: The first to produce a bespoke tarot deck specifically designed for occult purposes around 1789. In keeping with the unsubstantiated belief that such cards were derived from the Book of Thoth , Etteilla's tarot contained themes related to ancient Egypt . In the occult tradition, tarot cards are referred to as "arcana", with the Fool and 21 trumps being termed the Major Arcana and the suit cards

2091-465: The four elements, as well as traditional tarot motifs. The earliest known mention of this game, under the name of germini , dates to 1506. The word "tarot" and German Tarock derive from the Italian Tarocchi , the origin of which is uncertain, although taroch was used as a synonym for foolishness in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The decks were known exclusively as Trionfi during

2142-433: The house and take charge of the narrative. At the start, the two women are leading relatively conventional lives, each having jobs (Julie, a librarian, is more conservative and sensible than Céline, a stage magician , with her bohemian lifestyle). As the film develops, Céline and Julie separate from the world by leaving their jobs, moving in together, and gradually becoming obsessed with the mysterious and magical events in

2193-400: The house over the attentions of the widower, a young child is mysteriously murdered. However, this narrative is one that repeats like a stage play, with exact phrases they soon learn well enough to start joking about. Each time they repeat eating the candy, they remember more of the day's events. Just as if reading a favorite novel, or again watching a beloved movie, they find that they can enter

2244-543: The late 18th century. A lost tarot-like pack was commissioned by Duke Filippo Maria Visconti and described by Martiano da Tortona, probably between 1418 and 1425 since the painter he mentions, Michelino da Besozzo , returned to Milan in 1418, while Martiano himself died in 1425. He described a 60-card deck with 16 cards having images of the Roman gods and suits depicting four kinds of birds. The 16 cards were regarded as "trumps" since, in 1449, Jacopo Antonio Marcello recalled that

2295-466: The narrative itself, with each twist and turn memorized. Far from being the passive viewers/readers that they were at first—and most movie viewers always are—the women come to realize that they can seize hold of the story, changing it as they wish. Now, even as the plot continues to unfold in its clockwork fashion, the women begin to take control, making it "interactive" by adding alterations to their dialogues and inserting different actions into

2346-628: The next two centuries until the earliest known complete description of rules for a French variant in 1637. The game of tarot has many regional variations. Tarocchini has survived in Bologna and there are still others played in Piedmont and Sicily, but in Italy the game is generally less popular than elsewhere. The 18th century saw tarot's greatest revival, during which it became one of the most popular card games in Europe, played everywhere except Ireland and Britain,

2397-543: The now deceased duke had invented a novum quoddam et exquisitum triumphorum genus , or "a new and exquisite kind of triumphs." Other early decks that also showcased classical motifs include the Sola-Busca and Boiardo-Viti decks of the 1490s. The first documented tarot decks were recorded between 1440 and 1450 in Milan , Ferrara , Florence and Bologna , when additional trump cards with allegorical illustrations were added to

2448-425: The old house. In one scene, according to critic Irina Janakievska, Julie is playing Tarot cards, with one of the cards interpreted as signifying that Julie's future is behind her—exactly when we see Céline, wearing a disguise, observing Julie from one of the library desks. As Céline draws an outline of her hand in one of the books, Julie echoes that as she plays with a red ink pad. Another noticeable aspect of

2499-674: The only Scandinavian country that still plays tarot games, Danish Tarok being a derivative of historical German Grosstarock . The game of Cego has grown in popularity again in the south German region of Baden. Italy continues to play regionally popular games with their distinctive Tarot packs. These include: Ottocento in Bologna and Sicilian Tarocchi in parts of Sicily . Meanwhile Troccas and Troggu are still played locally in parts of Switzerland. Tarot cards, then known as tarocchi , first appeared in Ferrara and Milan in northern Italy, with

2550-455: The tarot also has a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool . Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit. These tarot cards are still used throughout much of Europe to play conventional card games . The use of tarot playing cards was at one time widespread across the whole of Europe except the British Isles and

2601-484: The verb Taroccare are used regionally to indicate that something is fake or forged. This meaning is directly derived from the tarocchi game as played in Italy, in which tarocco indicates a card that can be played in place of another card. The original purpose of tarot cards was to play games. A very cursory explanation of rules for a tarot-like deck is given in a manuscript by Martiano da Tortona before 1425. Vague descriptions of game play or game terminology follow for
