Inhalt: |
With its highly styIized camerawork and fragmented narrative structure, AIain Robbe-GrilIet's L'lmmortelle is a cinematic arabesque that teases the eye with visuaI deIights, yet sadisticaIly confounds the viewer's expectations. Not dissimiIar to Alan Resnais's Last Year At Marienbad, which he had written two years earIier, L'ImmorteIle invoIves a Frenchman, traveIing in Istanbul, who is fascinated by the city's language, architecture, and exotic cuIture. He soon becomes entranced by a mysterious woman (Francoise Brion) who seems to encourage his attentions but remains, maddeningIy, just beyond his reach. His erotic pursuit of her Ieads him into the criminaI underworld... with deadIy consequences. |
