A Jigsaw of failed nostalgia and memories both exercised and exorcised, this drama of an ill-advised reunion finds Resnais foregrounding the extraordinary that lies behind the everyday. Every picture here tells both an old and a new story; every character is both architect and victim of their own mismatched histories. Former lovers and fresh lies animate the conflict.
