Like watching paint dry, with looming organ music on top... It was possibly mind blowing in 1961, today I feel it is dated.

A timeless masterpiece and the first movie that makes you deduce your own experience. In turn, making it among the most influential. A forever mystifying picture.

A very relaxing and good movie, but a little repetitive, and I'm not just referring to the beginning.

Anyone who likes this should read The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares.

A jumbled series of memories (dreams?) in a French hotel. Elusive yet mesmerising. Like a New Wave Inception? 7/10.

Formidable, brilliant!! One of the most beautiful cinematographies I've ever seen and an incredible shooting style. Very mysterious, amazing soundtrack, great acting! Totally surrealistic, only for perspective audiences..

This should either be the very first or the very last film you ever watch.

This movie has challenged my senses of reality and time. I think Resnais repeats some themes of anonymousness of the characters and evolves them into a more universal and timeless level. This is like a lecture on cinema's direct contact to senses and its segregation from other art forms, especially from literature.
And Alias i feel you.

Mesmerizing is the best word to describe this movie. But I can't really say I understood it in any way, shape, or form.

Still I liked it.

I was browsing last year's Chanel collection and had to refer back to this film especially to a lot of sequences at the end where rooms and costumes become increasingly discontinuous. A very stylish and provocative film for anyone who can appreciate the visual elements of good film. As for the narrative, it tries to recreate (in surreal fashion) the way the human mind recalls events but Resnais himself reflected that he found Marienbad to do this only primitively.

Definitely a lot more going on than just paint drying.
