RIP: Alain Resnais

Alain Resnais - 1922-2014, aged 91. One of the most acclaimed French directors .... some of his titles suffice:

HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, 1959

LAST YEAR IN MARIENBAD, 1961 - below
PROVIDENCE, 1977, script by David Mercer, featuring John Gielgud, Dirk Bogarde, David Warner, Ellen Burstyn, Elaine Stritch. Its endlessly fascinating as we ponder what is real or imaginary ....
STAVISKY, 1984
I shall be finally catching his 1955 32-minute NIGHT AND FOG before too  long ....
