L’Année dernière à Marienbad

Delphine Seyrig in L’Année dernière à Marienbad (Last Year at Marienbad), 1961. Directed by Alain Resnais.
“Purgatorial chic epitomized, Alain Renais’s 1961 whatzit “Last Year at Marienbad” is at once an enigmatic totem of modern European art-house cinema, a mind-bending Möbius strip costumed by Coco Chanel, a surreal puzzle that many regard as a high-handed prank, a formal masterpiece, and one of the most emulated films ever made.”
