Very sad news. An amazing director.

My favorite of his is "L'année derrière at Marienbad". 😜
Mindblowing screenplay and editing. It changes with each viewing.

I'd also recommend his early, but influential, short movies (Guernica, Toute la mémoire du monde).

Okay, so if I wanted to watch one film today in his honour, what would it be? Hiroshima is on my watchlist somewhere, but is there anything else you'd recommend more?

My favourite are:

Muriel
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Smoking/No Smoking

Not my favourite Resnais either. It's an interesting watch, but it's very difficult to feel moved by this movie. Mind you, others have: I bet Lynch knows this movie by heart, shot by shot. Definitely influential on him.

I definetely liked Hiroshima Mon Amour, Night and Fog and Private Fears (though the latter was one of his lighter works), but couldn't really get into Last Year at Marienband... indeed a bit difficult of a director but worth the patience

RIP Resnais

Alain Resnais just died. I'm a great admirer of most of his work and am very sorry. His new movie is due for release this month.

Any other Resnais enthusiasts? Favourite Resnais movies?
