best film ever made, absolute symmetry, time wise and space wiseIt is like an artistic interpretation of quantum physics.A love is going on in a mysterious hotel where the events repeat themselves, each time a different way...best film ever made, absolute symmetry, timewise and spacewise. Just watch it. If you are patient you will get it..This film is only appropriate for mathematicians or architects, or both and whoever has the gift to watch it and appreciate it.I have to submit 10 lines but I have no further comments, that is it. Enjoy it Watch it Recollect.

This is a meaningless movie that is very tedious to watch.The only purpose this movie serves is for 17-year-old boys who've adopted a beret and are attempting to impress the girls by pretending they understand it. They don't, because it is not possible to understand something that has no meaning.I used to go to the alternative cinema on a regular basis to watch rubbish like this, and like Eraserhead, and we would watch the audience with an eagle eye to make sure everybody else in the cinema could see how cool and wise we were, not to mention artsy and sophisticated.None of this has anything to do with what it takes to make a good movie.

Did they meet? This question will pop on the viewers mind a hundred times while the movie runs.Analizing François Resnais career, we can see his passion for love, represented on the screen. He develops high quality films, made from scratch. In this movie, Resnais uses many resources to deliver a confusing but very entertaining movie.He uses two timelines, but with the originality, that one of them maybe is fake. Perhaps they met, perhaps they didn't. Excellent takes (remarking the use of exteriors), with shots of ambiguous conversations, conform a very well thought movie that will keep the viewer with its full attention on it through its 90 minute length.The script, which is more intelligent than the one shown on "Hiroshima mon Amour", but with a similar topic: Two individuals from different places that randomly met and start learning about each other (this was taken 40 years later by Linklater for his love trilogy).This is a movie made not only to enjoy itself, but to enjoy the whole cinematographic concept.

This is the most Pretentious Rubbish that the majority of film students are subjected to. Hour upon hour of "Do I know you? Im sure I knew you? Shall we have some champagne?" "Yes I know you" "Do you know me? I know you" "You know who?" "Yes" "no" "More wine? Isn't this place beautiful? Do I know-AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG DIE DIE DIE DIE ARRRRRRGGGGG! So that's the plot, the cinematography is quite pretty and I'm not completely adverse to new wave. Goddard is an amazing director, but this film just typifies everything I despise. There's no real craft or artistry at work here, it is purely style over substance. Even then style over substance can be entertaining but when it literally repeats the same thing over and over for 94mins (seems like 5 hours), the film will make you want to slit your wrists and never ever return to Marienbad.Fin.
