La Belle Noiseuse: Divertimento functions as a meta-cinematic meditation rather than a vehicle for social representation. It lacks demographic breadth, offering almost no representation for LGBTQ+, racial, or disabled identities. However, the film finds progressive value in its treatment of gender. By re-cutting the footage to favor Marianne's point of view, Rivette transforms the female subject from a passive object into an active participant in the film's reality. Ultimately, the work is a postmodern exploration of subjectivity. It prioritizes aesthetic and philosophical questions over addressing systemic identity issues.
