In tribute to the great French auteur, who passed away this year, we present a new 35mm print of his only sci-fi film. As in Chris Marker's La Jetée, in Je t'aime a man is selected to travel back in time. The time machine malfunctions and the man finds himself trapped in his own scattered memory. As he re-lives moments of bliss and tragedy from past relationships, the line between dream and flashback becomes distorted in this cerebral time travel romance.

It's intended screening at Cannes was cancelled due to political turmoil in France, and Resnais, (Last Year at Marienbad, Hiroshima Mon Amour) would not make another film for five years.
