Hitchcock: "In Psycho, the characters and the story are secondary, the focus is on the photography, the soundtrack, the combination of various film elements. The form of the story has to resonate with the audience. The audience is moved purely by the film itself." A masterpiece among masterpieces, black and white, composition, mirror movement, sculpting (classical flare, texture, large exposure), sound, soundtrack, editing; based on composition, through mirror movement, editing, and sound matching to create hallucinations, deception, and mistakes The visual pleasure of setting (action montage, jumping in time and space and objects); depriving humanity of the drama (satisfaction, sense of security) of compiling myths, actors lose their leadership. Language Labyrinth: Establishment, lies, inducement, looking for an exit, but being induced to the Illusionary Garden; the opening 15min narration (language) repeats the cycle, the image shuttles through the hotel; language and film master and subordinate? Apposition? Montage? the heart of poetry. Dialogue jumps (breaks) different time and space scenes. Memory (psychological) focus: the crowd is still, the protagonist is moving; the crowd and the protagonist are talking sometimes or not; the focus of the human eye, there is no depth of field, depth of field = subconscious?

"We never wanted to compromise on a clear meaning, we always wanted it to be a little ambiguous, and I don't understand why complex things in reality become clear on the screen. - Aaron Renay
Resnais left bank, surreal, literature, stream of consciousness and reality intertwined.
Screenwriter: Alain Robe-Grillet: Resnais fits my work very well, a little rigid, a little formal and unreal. I wrote the script, storyboards, including scenes, shots, and editing, but I didn't participate in the filming. Renais was loyal to the original work, but through subtle changes, such as performances and sound effects, it was more able to capture people's hearts.
As in the filming of "Hiroshima Love", Resnais recorded the author's dialogue. The male lead draws the gourd in the same way, and the female lead directs it herself.
After 59 days of filming, the film was cut, and the distributor refused to release it, so they had to hold celebrity screenings in private. The film was originally dedicated to André Breton (French surrealist poet), and it was the first to watch, but it was not well received. . And Saudi, Giacometti, Antonioni. After winning the Golden Lion, the distributor released it and created a trend. It became a must-see movie, and there was a lot of discussion.
I heard of Andre Godero's "What is Film Narratology", take this film as an example.
