L'annee derniere a Marienbad (1961), Alain Resnais

****
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054632/
















A cinematized psychoanalysis session (more blatantly so than Hiroshima, Mon Amour), pointing the camera not at the couch, but at the probed unconscious. Haunting. And often so textbook Freudian it’s not even funny. Or it is funny.

After Hiroshima and this, I think Wong Kar Wai is Resnais' somewhat less abstract successor in a way.
