Short description
At a weekend gathering, a man tells a woman that they had spent time there together a year prior. But, the woman has no recollection whatsoever and is convinced that he is simply fabricating the encounter. The more he speaks about their activities the previous year however, the more compelling he becomes. The question remains however – did they meet previously or not?
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in Paris.
- The film's visuals and characters were used in the music video "To The End" (1994) by the British band "Blur". The video features reshot scenes from Alain Resnais' film, accompanied by absurd English subtitles. Blur vocalist Damon Albarn played the role of X in the music video.
- Despite the fact that in his foreword to the published screenplay, Alain Robbe-Grillet assures us that the city of Marienbad never existed on the map, it does exist. It is the spa town of Mariánské Lázně in the Czech Republic (Mariánské Lázně), its German name being Marienbad.
- The most famous shot in the film is the view of the park that opens up to the characters as they leave the hotel: people stand motionless on a wide path running through the park, casting long shadows, while neither the trees nor the statues cast any shadows. The filming took place on a bright sunny day, and to create this surreal effect, the shadows of the people were simply painted on the ground.
- Filming took place over ten weeks from September to November 1960. The interiors and gardens of the Schleissheim, Nymphenburg, and Amalienburg palaces in Munich and its surroundings were used for filming. Additional interior scenes were shot in the pavilions of the "Photosonore-Marinier-Simon" studio in Paris.
