Last Year at Marienbad

This movie is pretentious yet it works.  I've found myself stopping halfway through foreign movies of the sort but this movie is interesting anyway.  I watched this movie all the time as a kid.  I was a weird kid.  The whole movie deals with a man trying to persuade a woman that he met her at the same hotel last year.  He can get quite persuasive.  The sets particularly the garden are cool.  The screenplay was written by a real French writer Alain Robbe-Grillet and it was even nominated for an Oscar.  It's a stunning looking film.  There's not much substance.  It's all style.
