skimpole Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Alain Resnais has died. Here is the New York Times obituary: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/03/movies/alain-resnais-acclaimed-french-filmmaker-is-dead-at-91.html?smid=fb-share And here's Richard Brody at his New Yorker blog http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2014/03/in-memory-of-alain-resnais.html#entry-more And Glenn Kenny has an interview with him here: http://somecamerunning.typepad.com/some_came_running/2014/03/alain-resnais-1922-2014.html Not to annoy Ricardo Montalban fans, but if he gets a TCM tribute shouldn't Resnais get one?

slaytonf Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hardly likely. One of the most neglected of major directors on TCM. It looks like the only movies of his we've seen is Mon Oncle D'Amerique, Last Year at Marienbad, and the surpassing La Guerre est finie. But, incredibly, not Hiroshima, Mon Amour. If there is only one movie that will show up on TCM as a result of his death, I hope it is Je t'aime, e t'aime, the most achingly beautiful love story I've ever seen. It's not told conventionally, so I suppose it would not appeal to many. Still, it is magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
