Score based on distant recollection.

Resnais creates a similar hazy, poetic world as in Last Year at Marienbad and Hiroshima Mon Amour, but inside it is a fairly conventional, and rather dull, story. The flashes of memory (or in some cases, imagination), internal dialogue, and odd close-ups are somewhat intriguing, unfortunately it's not enough to elevate this film above average. Things do pick up at the end, however, it's just the first hour that's rough going.
