Last Year at Marienbad
March 27 @ 7:00 pm - 8:50 pm
1961 – 1 hr 34 min
After a romantic fling a year prior, a man is surprised to learn that his lover, although present for their planned rendezvous, has no memory of meeting him. Reality and the imaginary are interwoven in this beautiful and sometimes disorienting classic. Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel personally designed the captivating haute couture looks worn by the film’s star Delphine Seyrig. House of Chanel worked closely to aid in this new restoration of Alain Resnais’ landmark French New Wave film. In French w/ subtitles.
About the Fashion: Originally summoned to Hollywood in the 1930s to costume Samuel Goldwyn’s leading ladies at United Artists, Chanel abandoned costume designing for the screen before making her triumphant return to cinema for LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD. Chanel had total control over the timeless ensembles worn by Seyrig, from sophisticated black dresses that demand the viewer’s focus in the film’s monochrome palette to dreamy chiffon and feathered gowns, seeing her work on a big screen is a sight to behold.
