Description: Surrounded by guests in an old mansion, the narrator tries to persuade a woman that they have met before, and that she has agreed to leave her husband and go away with him. French New Wave., Presents a film that pushed the boundaries of commerical cinema a great deal farther out than what audiences were used to. Tells the story that might be a love triangle, might be political, or might not be either. Shows events in flashbacks within flashbacks making it impossible to put any one scene before or after any other with any degree of certainty. Directed by Alain Resnais; written by Alain Robbe-Grillet. French with English subtitles.

French New Wave., Among an assembly of guests in a vast baroque mansion, the narrator/hero tries to persuade a woman that they have met before and that she agreed to go away with him. Resnais' film is an exercise exploring the subjective reality of the central characters. The considerations of the inner reality are offered as an open-ended poetic experience.
