LAB CLASSICS: L’ANNÉE DERNIÈRE À MARIENBAD
To mark the 4K re-release of Hiroshima Mon Amour on May 1st, we’re also bringing L’Année Dernière à Marienbad back to the big screen. Two groundbreaking collaborations between Alain Resnais and writer Alain Robbe-Grillet, each bending time, memory, and emotion in their own haunting way.
Alain Resnais’ L’Année Dernière à Marienbad is a hypnotic journey through memory, time, and desire. In a lavish hotel, a man insists he met a woman a year ago and that they planned to leave together, but she remembers nothing. Blurring the lines between reality and illusion, the film unfolds with elegant, dreamlike imagery and a mysterious, looping structure. Its mesmerizing black-and-white cinematography and haunting atmosphere make it one of the most enigmatic films ever made. A film not meant to be understood, but to be experienced.
