NEW 4K RESTORATION

WINNER, GOLDEN LION 1961 VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

(1961) As ominous organ music resounds, the Scope digital camera tracks via the seemingly infinite halls of a baroque grand lodge, as Giorgio Albertazzi tries to influence an initially disbelieving Delphine Seyrig (in robes by Chanel – Coco herself!) that they’d met the 12 months earlier than, even because the sepulchral Sacha Pitoëff hovers about. But as Albertazzi continues to repeat “Last year…,” every encounter takes place in several areas, in several costumes, the alterations not simply coming from scene to scene however from shot to shot, amid truly mounting suspense, till the query turns into not solely did it occur, however was it seduction or…? Perhaps the last word puzzle movie, with dizzying time shifts and flashbacks, actual or imagined. Oscar-nominated screenplay by nouveau roman titan Alain Robbe-Grillet. DCP restoration. Approx. 93 min.

Presented with help from the George Fasel Memorial Fund for Classic French Cinema.

­– J. Hoberman

“Highly seductive… a masterpiece of masterpieces!”
– Jonathan Rosenbaum

“The Finnegans Wake of the movies! I can’t remember a film of more sustained visual delight.”

“I was not prepared for the voluptuous quality of Marienbad, its command of tone and mood, its hypnotic way of drawing us into its puzzle, its austere visual beauty.”
– Roger Ebert
