Alain Resnais' english language directorial debut. An odd fantasy starring Sir John Gielgud as Clive Langham. Clive is a writer trying to finish his last novel based on his relatives. He is a bitter man and shows, through flashbacks, how spiteful, conniving and treacherous his family is. But is this fantasy or reality? Denis was little more than a walk-on "famous footballer" named Dave Woodford. He came in and out of scenes, but he looked so damn cute:-) |
