I thought I didn't know what I saw when I saw L'annee derniere a marienbad, but almost everything I saw in this clip I recognised! That made me proud of myself :-).
been having a total 90's nostalgia fest over last couple of weeks and watching lots of suede and blur. can't believe that 15 years on the battle of britpop is still being waged. Move on for fuck's sake!
Perfect send-up: The passionate, longing, lingering, tortured stares. Did I mention the passion? Unspoken words. And weirdly inserted, randomly scattered phrasing. The context. The lack of context. Would you like mashed cauliflower? Are you sleeping with my wife? Ce's la parfait. Fini.
Everything from the luminous lighting to the fractured/frozen edits and the subtitled incantations. This is such a beautiful, perfect pastiche of Resnais' film. Oasis' Wonderwall can go shit itself in rehab for all eternity compared to this.
highlight of their comeback for me! At the end of their Hyde Park gig 'and it looks like we might have made it' seemed like the biggest understatement of the century yet also hugely appropriate
This vid is a homage to the French New Wave, in particular "Last Year At Marienbad" The location is very similar to the house and garden where that was filmed, and the theme of the vid is the same as the film.
This video doesn't prepare the viewer for LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD. The rhythm of the editing is pure music video. Slow it all down to a two-hour feature film with insane nonsequiturs in the editing, endless mind-numbing voice over narration, long, long takes, and that loony card game the corpse-like guy beats everybody at, and you'll grasp the difference.
It's impossible to watch this without remembering each and every scene from Last night at Marienbad. This would be much nicer if I hadn't watch the film before watching this video.
@tazzywazzy1989 it's based on the french movie 'last year at marienbad' 1961 directed by alain resnais. that movie was really influential to american 1970's directors
It's made up of scenes re-enacted and lifted directly from Alain Resnai's 1962 film Last Train at Marienbad. Very much like their video for their song The Universal, which is an homage to Clockwork Orange.
If taken literally then it could be seen that way . . . I just prefer to look at the surface of it and just hear the wonderful waltzyness (new word) of it all.
This was my last dance for my wedding. More appropriate as a last dance rather then first as the lyrics fitted in perfectly for the end of a night. You are right though it was class.
Last in year in Marienbad, Alain Resnais
