SURREALIST SATURDAYS
65th anniversary – 4K restoration
*Golden Lion at the 22nd Venice Film Festival, Best French Film – Méliès Prize 1961.
In this unconventional French drama, a group of unnamed aristocrats interact at a palatial château, resulting in an enigmatic tale told partially in flashback. X (Giorgio Albertazzi) is convinced that he has met the beautiful A (Delphine Seyrig) before in the Czech resort town of Marienbad, and implies they had a romantic relationship. M (Sacha Pitoeff), who may be A's husband or boyfriend, confronts her mysterious suitor, leading to conflict and questions about the truth behind his story.
PROGRAMMER’S NOTE: Alain Resnais brings the techniques of the Nouvelle Vague to the surrealist movement in L’ANNÉE DERNIÈRE À MARIENBAD, a film whose dialogue, score, and mysteries penetrate the subconscious. A true classic not to be missed on the big screen.
*Exceptionally, the additional screening will take place on a Thursday.
