Non-linear narratives in Copenhagen
The Danish Film House is showing an Alain Resnais series during the month of November. It presents an unique opportunity to watch almost all of this "new wave" literary-oriented director's films, including his most well-known films "Last Year in Marienbad" (script by Alain Robbe-Grillet) and "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" (based on Margurite Duras' novel). Some of the other films have never been screened in Denmark before, and I look forward to watching "Mon oncle d'Amérique"(which actually stars Gerard Depardieu before he turned into an oeuf) and Je t'aime, Je t'aime (about being stuck in time).
If you are into the so-called "non-linear" narratives and nouvelle vague film, Resnais is a must. He might not be easily accessible, but he is definitely interesting. And one of those film auteurs, Gilles Deleuze discusses at length in his "Cinema: Temps" book.
