Seyrig, in one of her greatest roles, invites her lover from 20 years earlier to stay with her and her stepson. Resnais’ deeply philosophical follow-up to Last Year at Marienbad, scripted by Holocaust survivor Jean Cayrol, is haunted by the recent past (the conflict in Algeria, World War II) and features rhythmic dialogue and overlapping sound, visionary use of colour and a fragmented, prismatic narrative that gives resonance to a group of characters traumatised by social, personal and historical memory.

Features a brilliant ethereal modernist score by Hans Werner Henze, and burnished colour cinematography by Sacha Vierny.
