Members' Screening: Last Year in Marienbad

30 Mar 2014

Something of a key film in the development of cinematic modernism, partly because it sets up a puzzle that is never resolved: a man meets a woman in a rambling hotel and believes he may have had an affair with her the previous year at Marienbad - but did he? Or was it somewhere else?

Deliberately scrambling chronology to the point where past, present and future become meaningless, Resnais creates a vaguely unsettling mood by means of stylish composition, long, smooth tracking shots along the hotel's deserted corridors, and strangely detached performances. Obscure, oneiric and unforgettable.
