Delphine Seyrig invites her lover from 20 years earlier to stay with her & her stepson. Resnais' deeply philosophical follow-up to Last Year at Marienbad is haunted by the recent past (Algeria, WWII) & features rhythmic dialogue & overlapping sound, visionary use of colour & a fragmented, prismatic narrative giving resonance to a group of characters tortured by personal, social & historical memory. Ethereal modernist score by Hans Werner Henze, & crisp cinematography by Sacha Vierny.
