In that magnificent, labyrinth-like hotel, where colossal statues cast their shadows, time consists solely of the soundless footsteps echoing through the corridors. This sophisticated drama by Alain Resnais follows a foreign man, trapped amidst a bourgeois crowd, as he struggles to reconstruct his hazy memories of the past year with a mysterious woman. The baroque salons and quiet card games that appear at every turn transform the experience into an unsettling journey through the treacherous waters of memory. As the woman insists she doesn’t remember, the man’s confident persistence turns this enclosed space into a tense puzzle.
