Last Year at Marienbad

Cinema Surreal

Letztes Jahr in Marienbad

Alain Resnais, France, Italy 1961, 94’ German-language version
Last Year at Marienbad is rightly considered one of the most beautiful films of the early 1960s. A man tells a woman that he met her here in Marienbad a year ago and how he has longed for her throughout the year. A fleeting moment in a flirtation—one doesn’t even know if it actually took place. The woman can’t remember.
An elegant film, with costumes designed by Coco Chanel, directed by the innovative Alain Resnais in collaboration with screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet. In the end, the woman will follow the man. Such a beautiful and yet so fleeting moment—not even the director and screenwriter agreed on the plot. Resnais believed the man and woman had actually met, while Robbe-Grillet was convinced the man was merely trying to convince the woman that they had met, just as one might say to a woman one wishes to get to know, “I know you from somewhere.”
