Last Year At Marienbad

French master Alain Resnais followed his masterpiece "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" with this mysterious film that leaves any kind of interpretation to the viewer. Resnais made an elegant film set in a stunning chateau with a beautiful cast with a story that's an enigma through and through. A man persuades beautiful woman to be the woman he had an affair the year before only to be rejected by her. The actors are used as facades like the opulent settings without giving any clues to the mystery. Resnais and writer Alain Robbe-Grillet are more interested in the audience's reaction to their puzzle than anything else which is one the main attractions of the film.
