"PERFECT LOVE"
FORGET, everything else about this movie - just experience it as a love story. A still unique conception through the eyes of Alain Resnais. To say more about this man would trivialize, he is exceptional.It's a chance meeting between two people of different cultures, both have been hurt [devastated?] by the inhumanities of war, understandably there is a connection, an understanding. There is a romance, they attempt to exorcise their demons. As the voyeur, you are changed by this confessional. It's a movie in rare black and white, avant-garde for 1959 - and now! [You'd have to visit the out-of the way Art House to see this product, fortunately it's currently on tape - DVD would be sublime].Duras wrote from the heart, another - never seen work "Summer 10:30pm" is well worth visiting.But this earlier work remains fresh, like the shadows of the victims of the nuclear blast, for the fortunate viewer of this work, memory remains indelible. A brilliant meeting of Duras and Resnais.
