In a vast baroque mansion, a man tries to convince a woman (a coolly enigmatic Seyrig) that they had an affair the year before. Rejecting chronology, Resnais’ mingling of memory and imagination, past and present, is one of the cinema’s most haunting and erotic modernist “poems”.

The cryptic screenplay by Alain Robbe-Grillet, Francis Seyrig’s (Delphine’s brother) organ music, Sacha Vierny’s precise, luminous images, Seyrig’s extraordinary presence and composure, and the tracking shots down endless corridors, are all mysteriously unforgettable, providing one of the truly singular experiences the cinema has to offer.
