Everything is fake.

"I'll take you away, escape this cold, empty, decorated world. Come with me, please, don't be afraid."

A movie that seems to be messy and disorderly is really just because it is messy and disorderly to make it fit the content of the movie.

Human memory is easily blurred and confused.

The hustle and bustle of the people around is the quietest for the two lonely people. The director's way of handling it is good.

The creation of such a world, I think, stems from the husband's indifference to it and the use of a woman's identity. So the surrounding beauty has nothing to do with the heroine.

The encounter between two people is like going around in a labyrinth. In the real world, there are people around, and you can meet the right person at any time. But not so. Looking for another person, as the film says, "Climb over wall after wall and open door after door".

And the most interesting part of this film is not this, but the memory changes again and again. Sometimes love may not be so noble. "It's not violence," the male protagonist has always emphasized, and he hopes that the female protagonist will follow him voluntarily, not forced.

It is not so much a love movie as it is the confusion and obscenity of a person's memory.

    ★★★★★ (2006-07-08) Fascinating and terrifying dream, in which you can't stop. In the entanglement of memory and hallucination, how to determine the truth?

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!
