The suprising fact (to me) is that it is in fact a Czech film!




Now I am thinking about the way we store information in our memory: I´ve seen this movie once on a TV broadcast, more than 30 years ago. The visual elements in the film are as I recalled them, but not the music! The Albinoni adagio has nothing to do with it. Thinking about the way our memories are stored and recalled, it came to my mind that incredible masterpiece of Alain Resnais, "Last year at Marienbad" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Year_at_Marienbad ), that brings in this subject in a provocative and clever way.

All the best

Hi Guiller,

Glad to be of assistance. I hate not being able to remember movies as well. I've never seen either version, and with all the reviews posted I really want to Czech (sorry) it out. The restored DVD is available on that auction site for not a whole lot of cash.
