Leutrat Jean-Louis Leutrat 
L’Ann e derni re Marienbad (Last Year in Marienbad) [EPUB ebook] 

A quintessential work of 1960s European art cinema, L’Ann e derni re Marienbad (Last Year in Marienbad, 1961) was a collaboration between director Alain Resnais and ‘New Novel’ enfant terrible Alain Robbe-Grillet. Three people, known only by their initials, move through the sprawling luxury of a mysterious hotel and its ornamental gardens. Perhaps M is A’s husband and X her lover. Perhaps, ‘last year’, A promised X she would leave with him. Or is there something more terrible in the past? An abstract thriller, a love story, a philosophical puzzle, ‘the film’s deviations are’, for Jean-Louis Leutrat, ‘as complex as those of the human heart’.
