How fabulous is the new Criterion edition of L’année dernière à Marienbad?
Pretty darn fabulous!!!
The new transfer is outstanding!
The extras are fascinating!
This is glamour - in the truest, most occult sense.
The film is a spell consisting of equal parts luxury and dread.
(Cosmic dread…after my latest viewing I found the movie is almost Lovecraftian in its sense of dislocation and other worldliness.)
And the talisman for this magic is the divine Delphine Seyrig….
Can’t wait for the Criterion’s edition of Repulsion later this month!
