March 7, 1962 –
The Alain Resnais’ enigmatic masterpiece, L’Année dernière à Marienbad (Last Year at Marienbad), opened in the US on this date.
I’ll tell you the plot – a man meets a woman at a European spa and tries to convince her (and himself) that they met one year ago. According to screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet, the movie is a pure construction, without a frame of reference outside of its own existence – just watch it.
