This screening is an Auckland Film Society Screening.
'At a social gathering at a château or baroque hotel, a man approaches a woman. He claims they met the year before at Marienbad and is convinced that she is waiting there for him. However, the woman insists they have never met. A second man, who may be the woman's husband, repeatedly asserts his dominance over the first man, including beating him several times at a mathematical game (a version of Nim). Through ambiguous flashbacks and disorientating shifts of time and location, the film explores the relationships among the characters. Conversations and events are repeated in several places in the château and grounds, and there are numerous tracking shots of the château's corridors, with ambiguous voiceovers.'
Film Society membership is available to through the Academy Cinemas website, or at the counter. A year long membership entitles you to free admission to all Film Society screenings throughout the year, anywhere in New Zealand. A three trip pass entitles you to three Film Society screenings. Please note that most screenings will be open to members only.
In many areas membership also allows you generous concessions at the NZ International Film Festival, and to local cinemas.
