Set in a town marked by extensive postwar reconstruction and in an apartment filled with restored antiques, Resnais' film traces the continuum between past and present, and the persistence of history in a world of change.
Alain Resnais deals with the impact of the war in Algeria on a French veteran. Although the surrealist touches seem dated, the issues of war and torture are not--especially in light of the current war in Iraq.
The web of opened, ultimately unfollowed trails in 'Muriel' leads, not to the coherence of art, but to mere mirrors within mirrors.
A truly frustrating tug-of-war between conventional narrative and fragmented presentation.
No review available.
An innovative, original film that is always fascinating and challenging.
Resnais' true filmmaking style had finally begun to emerge, employing characters who are real people (not named after cities or designated by letters) with memories that cut deeply into their personalities and relationships.
A subtle, precise, and wrenching film, shot largely without recourse to the stylistic flourishes that made Resnais' reputation.
Top CriticWhat's initially off-putting is not the usual art-movie austerity but Resnais' intellectual playfulness and mystifying surrealist bent.
