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.
Very fine details to the point where Majewski loses the big picture. Majewski claims his team was so obsessive that they videotaped live spiders in order to determine which leg their CGI version should step out on. The dedication put into this film is evident and pays off especially for anyone into Flemish art. Each scene is dripping with elegance like watching a milkmaid pouring cream from a jug. But is the director educating us or simply sharing the delight of his preoccupation? Majewski himself is not sure if this is a documentary. Maybe it's a bit (self-)indulgent.

Made in a time when we still feared cell phone radiation. A bit dated now, but nevertheless enjoyable.Movie comment on L'année dernière à Marienbad
