This masterpiece from the late Alain Resnais (who passed away last Saturday in Paris at a respectable 95 years old), was not easy to sell to our  MovieNight peeps. Ultimately, though, we did get enough guests to make it a fun evening (thanks to the Barcelona crew!). Last Year at Marienbad is stark, obtuse, and repetitive… perfectly bizarre.  I was actually contemplating showing it again next week, without any explanation, or acknowledgement that I had shown it this week, just to play along with the surrealist theme, and the film’s unresolved plot. Did they in fact meet last year? We will never know.
