Last Year at Marienbad

"You asked me who these people were, and I said I didn't know. You made several assumptions, and I said it might be you and me."

He said he knew her, he said they met in Marienbad. She was skeptical and in a trance. In the rush of music, he and she finally ran away together.

What is the distance between reality and memory? The material that looks real and the illusory heart that looks like a dream, which one is the real thing?

I watched this film three times, and I never thought to try to understand it, because I knew early on that it didn't matter whether I could understand it or not.

When did you see Duras use a traditional narrative style to tell her smug story, especially one that vaguely revolves around love, lust and temptation, betrayal and entanglement?

Everything was uncertain, and then it looked as though it had a definite ending.

It looks

so weird

and unreliable

, but it is the ultimate writer's film, and of

course my favorite style.

We no longer need storytelling

, we need subversion and surprise,

we choose what we want to believe to believe

    9/10 As a montaged stream of consciousness work, there are still a lot of cute points. I won't mention the narration. The most adorable ones are photography, long shots and mise-en-scene, which is exactly what the saying goes: sometimes the mise-en-scene is not the mise-en-scene, but the framing, which is to move the camera to put it bluntly.

    The first Rene. More and more I feel that the degree of recognition of works is closely related to "order": "Room" abandons the order of words and deeds, and forms an "incomprehensible and understandable" unfavorable relationship with the audio-visual construction consciousness that tends to zero indefinitely; The only order preserved in "Last Year" happens to be people's words and deeds. At the same time, images are used to destroy the real order of time and space to the greatest extent possible. The film itself is not rated, four stars give it to my thinking.

Last Year at Marienbad quotes

  • [X wanders through the hotel's corridors cataloging items he sees]

    X: Empty salons. Corridors. Salons. Doors. Doors. Salons. Empty chairs, deep armchairs, thick carpets. Heavy hangings. Stairs, steps. Steps, one after the other. Glass objects, objects still intact, empty glasses. A glass that falls, three, two, one, zero. Glass partition, letters.

  • X: I must have you alive. Alive, as you have already been every evening, for weeks, for months.

    A: I have never stayed so long anywhere.

    X: Yes, I know. I don't care. For days and days. Why don't you still want to remember anything?

    A: You're raving! I'm tired, leave me alone!
