My Favourite Film: "Last Year at Marienbad would be the greatest movie of all time if it were not so elegant, elitist and ephemeral."



In a sprawling baroque hotel, a stranger, X, tries to persuade a married woman, A, to leave her husband, M, and run away with him. He reminds her of her promise when they met a year ago, at Marienbad, but the woman seems not to remember that meeting.
