Overview

Alain Resnais's 1968 French science fiction film follows a man recovering from a suicide attempt who is recruited for a time travel experiment. A malfunction sends him tumbling through his own memories in random order, centering on a past love affair. The Leans Traditional label is mild and largely reflects what the film lacks rather than what it asserts. There are no political arguments, no identity themes, and no commentary on social structures. The protagonist is a conventional white European male navigating grief and trauma. One moderating note: the relationship at the heart of his memories involves infidelity, which quietly sidesteps traditional romantic ideals, keeping the label from moving further right.
