Last Year at Marienbad
Extraordinary! Hypnotic! Beautiful! Masterful!
Directed by Alain Resnais
Produced by Cineriz, Cormoran Films
A hypnotic, formally audacious puzzle about memory, desire, and the malleability of truth, where the boundary between reality and fabrication dissolves entirely.
At a weekend gathering, a man tells a woman that they had spent time there together a year prior. But, the woman has no recollection whatsoever and is convinced that he is simply fabricating the encounter. The more he speaks about their activities the previous year however, the more compelling he becomes. The question remains however – did they meet previously or not?
