I liked Last Year at Marienbad. The seats were terribly uncomfortable and at one point, I found myself entranced by Giorgio Albertazzi’s voice and the surreal images. I had to shake myself back to regular consciousness. This is not a movie that can easily be explained and certainly not a movie for just anyone to watch. Although you can play a version of the game, Nim, that the characters play throughout the movie here.

It rained last night. The theater wasn’t a theater but an old room in an old building on UPenn’s campus. The film was advertised in the Philly Inquirer Sunday edition and I assumed many people would attend. Finding out that it was actually a college event, I worried that Lisa and I would be old fogeys. As it turns out, the audience consisted mostly of old men. Old, old men. There were a couple old women and one college-aged couple. I will go next month since Andrew is showing a movie I have wanted to see for a very long time, Something for Everyone starring Michael York and Angela Lansbury. I hope I can find a comfortable folding chair to bring that is easy to transport.
