Surprise Screening 
​(Hamilton)

Alain Resnais  •   France/Italy  • ​  1961
97 mins  •  HD  •   B&W  •   PG
​
 ​In French with English subtitles

It’s déjà vu over and over again in Resnais’s elegant, labyrinthine puzzle, written by Alain Robbe-Grillet and starring Delphine Seyrig.

“Remains one of cinema’s glorious enigmas, endlessly compelling and intriguing.”
– LA Times
With: Delphine 
Director: Alain Resnais


REVIEW



“Oscillates ambiguously between past, present, and various conditional tenses, mixing memory and fantasy, fear and desire. The overall tone is poker-faced parody of lush Hollywood melodrama, yet the film’s dreamlike cadences, frozen tableaux, and distilled surrealist poetry are too eerie, too terrifying even, to be shaken off as camp.”

— Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
