Je T'Aime, Je T'Aime (1968, Unclassified 18+)

Dir: Alain Resnais, France, 91mins, 35mm

Claude Ridder’s suicidal obsessions make him the perfect subject for an experiment in time and space. Yet as science tries to drive Claude back into a specific moment, one year before and one minute long, Claude’s memory keeps trapping him in the exquisite and tragic chaos of his experiences, sometimes over and over. Working from a script by cult and mystical French science fiction writer Jacques Sternberg, Alain Resnais drove all his previous editing and narrative experiment to their logical extreme, with some scenes lasting little more than one second and some shots repeated dozens of times.
