"Last Year at Marienbad"
directed by Alain Resnais
1962

The package design for the Crtierion release of Alain Resnais'"Last Year at Marienbad" is so simple, one might expect the same from the film. A dizzying wave of choppy editing, poetic dialogue, and neatly controlled imagery, "Last Year at Marienbad" is far from simple. It's a movie that takes a while to simmer to a point of engagement, but once you become a part of its rhythm, it's hard to resist its daring and poignant beauty. To celebrate the DVD release I give you this:

This is the most wonderful news ever. EVER. I'm quite glad that one of us is on top of the art world of cinema. Goodness knows I'm not.
