Encyclopedic overview

Alain Resnais ( French: [alɛ̃ ʁɛnɛ]; 3 June 1922 – 1 March 2014) was a French film director and screenwriter whose career extended over more than six decades. His films frequently explore the relationship between consciousness, memory, and the imagination, and he was noted for devising innovative formal structures for his narratives.

After training as a film editor in the mid-1940s, Resnais went on to direct short films including Night and Fog (1956), an influential documentary about the Nazi concentration camps. Resnais then began making feature films in the late 1950s and consolidated his early reputation with Hiroshima mon amour (1959), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), Muriel (1963) and Je t'aime, je t'aime (1968) all of which adopted unconventional narrative techniques to deal with themes of troubled memory and the imagined past.
