L'Année dernière à Marienbad

This landmark of cinematic modernism has a man meet a woman (staying with another man) in a rambling hotel and insist they had an affair there the previous year - but did they? Resnais and writer Alain Robbe-Grillet scramble time-frames, question the characters' conflicting memories, and turn the narrative into a maze of erotic reverie.

La Jetée

Compiled from photographs, Marker's masterpiece is narrated by a man sent back in time to avert apocalypse. A key study of time, memory, longing and regret.
