L'année dernière à Marienbad

Alain Resnais / FR, IT, 1961 / 95 min.

Alain Resnais’ hyper-stylised, mystifying ‘telling’ of the encounter between man X and woman A in a beautiful castle plays with film conventions and still fascinates film-lovers today. Did X and A have an affair, as X claims? What is truth? How does time work?

poster L'année dernière à Marienbad (Alain Resnais, FR/IT 1961)

Following on from the worldwide success of Hiroshima mon amour (1959, script by Marguerite Duras), Alain Resnais once again decided to work with a writer from the ‘nouveau roman’ literary movement, Alain Robbe-Grillet.
