On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the lads grab their matchbooks and make for the hotel from hell as they dive into Alain Resnais' 1961 puzzlebox: Last Year at Marienbad. Do the striking performances and impeccable atmosphere make this hallmark of the French New Wave a Fancy Feast?

Yes. Yes, they do.

Sorry for spoiling it, I literally couldn't come up with anything bad to say about this movie.

But ONE THING'S FOR SURE: Vision is DEFINITELY in the background somewhere.

This is one of the few movies I actually own on Blu-Ray! And I have a paperback copy of the script, because that’s a thing you can buy, too!

For once Brian is correct about Canada

Will Robinson

idk I haven't seen it since college but I kinda always framed it as "Kafka's the castle + rashomon"

But with costumes by Chanel! (I’ve seen Marienbad a lot more recently than Rashomon.)

Jacob King

I’d recommend the 1963 version of Judex for a good approximation of a synthesis between Marienbad and The Avengers.

When I think of Harry Morgan the first thing that comes to mind is the absolutely bonkers Rankin and Bass animated film The Flight of Dragons which should definitely be a future episode.
