At a lavish European hotel, a handsome stranger tries to convince a lovely young woman that they had a passionate affair a year ago. When she claims not to remember him, he keeps trying to convince her, weaving a story that mixes memory and fantasy. Or is it all fantasy? French new wave director Alain Resnais helms this complex, controversial film that earned an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.

The beauty of Marienbad is that it is entirely subjective. Here's a man, woman and a lavish hotel--- who's story can one believe?

One must go into the film with an open, active mind. Like Hiroshima Mon Amour, it's a meditation on time and memory.

It's hard not to fall under the film's spell, with its slow tracking shots, organ music and beautiful environments.

Arkadin · 05-23-2010, 07:03 PM

it's one of my favorite Criterion blus, but I gotta say the organ music is very grating imo.
it's just too loud and too much for too long in a few sequences.
a little would have been ok, but that's the one thing I wish was different--
the music.
there are all kinds of ways the score could have been much better imo without the movie losing any of its power or lyricism.

I am interested in comments about "The Last Metro." I viewed the short trailer on Criterion's site. How is the war portrayed in the movie? Is it a primary focus with the love interest being secondary, or is the love interest viewed as a microcosm amidst the theater and the larger backdrop of the war? The trailer interested me.

Actually, I heard that someone wrote a book on the "worst films ever made" and had LYAM on his list among films like Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Now that's just wrong. I own Plan 9 From Outer Space and agree that it's a terrible movie. That's why I bought it and that's why I enjoy it. Last Year at Marienbad on the other hand is a well made and visually stunning movie that I just didn't like.

You don't see any war, or even the last metro, for that matter. It's primarily all set in the theater.
