Tag / Alain Resnais

Hiroshima mon amour (1959)

  • Criterion Collection, Resnais, Alain
  • 1959, Alain Resnais, France, Japan
  • 4 Comments

My favourite feature debut from the French New Wave—an extraordinary meditation on trauma, memory and love as Resnais merges the historical, geographical and the personal in an intelligent and sensuous way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I Want to Go Home (1989)

  • Resnais, Alain
  • 1989, Alain Resnais, France
  • Leave a comment

An under-appreciated oddball of a film by Alain Resnais that dabbles with US-French cultural idiosyncrasies as well as the tension between popular culture and intellectual scholarship.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Melo (1986)

  • Resnais, Alain
  • 1986, Alain Resnais, France
  • Leave a comment

Resnais blurs the lines between theatre and cinema in this mature treatise on the ‘love triangle’, marked by a trio of outstanding performances. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Life Is a Bed of Roses (1983)

  • Resnais, Alain
  • 1983, Alain Resnais, France
  • 1 Comment

Resnais’ tonally-jarring ‘musical-drama’ that intercuts across three timelines feels too artificially-constructed and incoherent to make any meaningful sense.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

My American Uncle (1980)

  • Resnais, Alain
  • 1980, Alain Resnais, France
  • 1 Comment

An unexpected critical success, Resnais’ sly, mosaic-like film about behavioural psychology as explored through the personal stories of a trio of interconnecting characters is a masterclass in associative editing, and one of his finest pictures.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
