Do WWD

OLDIE BUT GOODIE: More than 40 years after its release, Alain Resnais’ “Last Year at Marienbad” continues to make waves. The Gallic flick premiered at the Film Forum this weekend to packed theaters, raking in nearly $20,000 and becoming the holiday weekend’s highest grossing film per screen in the U.S. What’s more, the film is a must among the fashion flock. Coco Chanel served as costume designer, creating a look that recently influenced designers both big and small: Marc Jacobs told The New York Times’ Cathy Horyn that he had been watching the film when he was designing his fall 2007 collection and newbie Frank Kobitz derived one of the prints in his upcoming Frank Tell fall collection from the movie. In the September issue of WWDScoop, novelist Frederic Tuten gushed about Resnais’ masterpiece. He wrote: “From the standpoint of its impenetrability — and thus its continuous mystery — its aesthetic and emotional wholeness, ‘Marienbad’ is the most perfect film ever made.” “Last Year at Marienbad” will run at the Film Forum until Jan. 31.

Tá?

O filme você pode encontrar aqui (na CD Point, para comprar) ou em uma locadora boa. Aviso amigo: tome café e assista em um dia bem inspirado, porque o filme é entrópico pra dedéu – e é por isso talvez que os cinéfilos adoram. E não dá para negar que as imagens são mesmo lindas.
