“Masterpiece of masterpieces!” (Jonathan Rosenbaum), LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD (France, 1961), directed by Alain Resnais, with a screenplay by Alain Robbe-Grillet, “is a sustained mood, an empty allegory, a choreographed moment outside time, and a shocking intimation of perfection.” (J. Hoberman). A hypnotically beautiful puzzle box of a film, LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD is one of the most influential in the history of cinema.
