Last Year at Marienbad
(1961) Directed by Alain Resnais
April 12 - Saturday - 3:00 p.m.
In Alain Resnais' film, we know for certain that a man and woman meet at a château and disagree on
whether they met in Marienbad the year before. What happens afterward within this surrealistic dream
world however remains mysterious. As space and time become slippery entities, the film invites multiple
interpretations of the couple's strange, elliptical encounters. A hallmark of the French New Wave and a
meditation on memory and longing, Last Year at Marienbad is a singular cinematic experience. (35mm.
94 min. Not Rated.)
Magnificent Obsession
(1954) Directed by Douglas Sirk
March 8 - Saturday - 3:00 p.m.
Douglas Sirk's first Technicolor tearjerker with Universal also marked the beginning of the legendary
stardom of Rock Hudson. When playboy millionaire Bob Merrick (Hudson) causes a series of accidents
that leave socialite Helen Phillips (Jane Wyman) widowed and blind, he vows to right his wrongs by paying
his fortune forward, going to medical school and curing Helen's blindness. Shot in lurid color and lushly
scored by longtime Sirk collaborator Frank Skinner, the film features a leading couple for the ages. (2K
DCP. 108 min. Not Rated.)
