Plot
In a grand hotel a man tries to convince a woman they met the year before, in a puzzle of memory and time.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alain Resnais's puzzle of memory in a baroque hotel is hypnotic and elusive. Its glides along corridors and formal gardens make a dreamlike, endlessly debatable art-house landmark.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
