LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD

Alain Resnais’ spellbinding, dreamy classic has sparked discussion and debate for almost six decades! A male guest at a vast baroque mansion tries to convince a woman (Delphine Seyrig) that they had an affair the year before, and that she had promised to go away with him. Penned by Alain Robbe-Grillet, this modernist masterpiece rejects chronological time in favor of a commingling of memory and imagination, past and present, desire and fulfillment. “Hopelessly retro, eternally avant-garde, and one of the most influential movies ever made.” –J. Hoberman. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. 94 min.
