Last Year at Marienbad ¹⁹⁶¹

In a lush, almost timeless hotel, a man claims to have met a woman a year earlier. According to him, they agreed then to leave together. But the woman remembers nothing. As they wander together through endless corridors, salons, and gardens, memories and desires begin to blur more and more.

With Last Year at Marienbad, Alain Resnais creates a hypnotic journey through time, memory, and desire. The stately black-and-white images, repetitive dialogues, and dreamlike structure make it increasingly difficult to determine what actually happened. An elegant and enigmatic classic that does not so much tell you a story, but slowly lets you get lost in the question of what you can actually remember.
