For its eighth Monthly Dinner, Monkey Town serves up one of the most chewed-over films in history — Last Year at Marienbad (1961) — alongside six chateau-worthy courses taken from Auguste Escoffier's famous cookbook. Although the numbers on tonight's menu could pass as a caloric meter on the uptick, they actually refer to the recipes' order (out of 2,973) in Escoffier's culinary Bible; #720 is potage derby, a cream of rice soup, chicken, foie gras, and truffles, while #2015 is a salade niçoise. The coded menu seems particularly apt for Alain Resnais' glyph-rich study of memory, in which the leads are called A and X.
