never bored to watch this amazing documentary about the maze that is the national library of paris, that labrynth that holds toute la mémoire du monde… resnais always explores the mémoire themes: how close he is to chris marker’s interests. great partners when it comes to reflection on memory, wich in a sense is reflection on reflection, a kind of echo… of what? like l’année dernière à marienban, wich is an echo of something that we’ll never know its ontologycal status, maybe is as unreal as memory can be, as constructed as cinema could be… pure & abstract ideas wich comes in a mise en abîme of great intelectual joy —with that unique mise en scène elegance & style never ever equaled
