Winner of the Venice Golden Lion, Alan Resnais's French New-Wave classic features stunning imagery while deliberately avoiding conventional plot and character development. In a vast and opulent hotel, an unnamed man attempts to persuade a similarly unnamed married woman that they have not only met before, but that they were also romantically involved and had planned to elope together.
