A Haunting Dream of Love
Not everyone will appreciate this highly subjective study of two emotionally wounded lovers in the aftermath of war, but please give it a chance. No other film captures the emotions and inner life of its characters like this. Resnais has such an amazing asthetic sense. Even the simplest images and words become deeply compelling and unforgetable under his direction. The script, by the celebrated erotic novelist Marguerite Duras, is also first rate.
