Out 1 - Title

Title

Out 1 is known by many titles. Out 1: Noli me tangere, the frequently-cited longer title of the film, has its origins as a phrase written on the film canister of an early workprint. This longer title was commonly understood as the film's actual title until a finished print was made in 1989 for exhibition at the Rotterdam Film Festival and as a telecine transfer for TV broadcast. At that point Rivette asserted the title on-screen as simply Out 1. Out 1: Spectre is, however, the proper title of the shorter, four-hour version of the film, which is nonetheless a completely separate and distinctive work rather than simply a shortened form of the longer film.
