Dir. Alain Resnais
Last Year At Marienbad has been an interesting film to rewatch. I wasn't fond of it on the first viewing, but was compelled by how fantastic it looked and how it was made as well as it was. Viewing it again for this series, I'm still trying to grasp it, but its elusive nature mixed with the gorgeous production value grows in virtue. It is certainly a film that is more about the sensation of viewing it than a clear narrative, and far from a feeble defense of it, this proves to be its greatest virtue. To make every scene startle you while still adding a deeper connection to the fact that no one onscreen may be able to leave the situation and have to continue it continually...
