FRENCH NEW WAVE ESSENTIALS

 

AT THE MUSEUM OF ARTS AND DESIGN
2 Columbus Circle

 

LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD
August 22 & 23, 2 PM.
1961, 94 mins. Directed by Alain Resnais.

With Delphine Seyrig, Giorgio Albertazzi. In a sumptuous, baroque grand hotel, an elegant man tries to convince a beautiful woman that they have met a year before, setting off an enigmatic and dreamlike series of events in Alain Resnais’s luscious, mysterious film. In many ways the quintessential arthouse movie, Last Year at Marienbad, with Delphine Seyrig’s Coco Chanel gowns, and Sacha Vierney’s exquisite widescreen black-and-white photography, is both sensually and cerebrally engaging.

This series marks the first collaboration between the Museum of Arts and Design and Museum of the Moving Image. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the French New Wave, this series will showcase some of the most influential films of this period, many being presented with recently restored 35mm prints. Films will be presented in MAD's 145-seat theater (first built in 1964 and restored and reopened last September). Organized by David Schwartz, chief curator of Museum of the Moving Image.

Museum of Arts and Design is located at 2 Columbus Circle at 59th Street. Tickets are $11 per film/$7 for members of Museum of the Moving Image or MAD. No reservations, seating is first come, first served.
