THE FILMMAKERS: Alain Resnais was already an award-winning documentary filmmaker when he made his debut narrative film, HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, written by Marguerite Duras, in 1959. In the words of its director Alain Resnais, “Make of it what you will.whatever you decide is right.” The film, which nominally tells the story of two unnamed people who wander the hallways, drawing rooms, and immacuate grounds of a country estate, trying to work out where and when they may have met before, defies explanation and resists conventional interpretations of chronology, motive, and action. Starring Delphine Seyrig, Giorgio Albertazzi, Sacho Pito ëff, and Fran çoise Bertinĭescribed by critic Geoffrey Nowell-Smith in 1962 as “a revolutionary kind of cinematic spectacle” and by Pauline Kael in 1963 as a “high-fashion experimental film, the snow-job at the ice palace,” LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD has been electrifying and infuriating critics and audiences for more than 50 years. Produced by Pierre Corau, Anatole Dauman, and Raymond Froment Introduction and Film Notes by Brian Meacham
