Synopsis
One of cinema's most haunting and erotic poems. Forgoing a traditional chronological structure, the film moves effortlessly between memory
and imagination, past and present, desire and fulfilment as a man tries to convince a woman that they had an affair the year before and she
should leave the man she is with. A vast baroque mansion with geometrically designed gardens is the setting for the cryptic conversations,
while stylised playing, unforgettable organ music, disconcerting tracking shots down endless corridors and the mysteriously beautiful Seyrig
as the woman all contribute to this classic film.
