Looking For Muriel (hardback): A Journey Through and Around the Alain Resnais Fi

Description: Looking For Muriel (hardback) by Darren Arnold Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Looking for Muriel examines both the film and its setting of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Publisher Description Muriel, or The Time of Return was director Alain Resnais first color feature, and its film stock immediately set it apart from many other French movies of the early 1960s. Appearing hot on the heels of Resnais arthouse smashes Hiroshima mon amour and Last Year at Marienbad, Muriel failed to attract the same attention as its predecessors, and the films initial domestic release yielded indifferent box office results. This lukewarm response could perhaps be attributed to Muriels probing of the still fresh wounds inflicted by the Algerian War, as the French public of the time held little appetite for further discussion of what was widely viewed as a messy, dispiriting conflict. Yet time has allowed Muriel to slowly emerge as Alain Resnais masterpiece, and its exquisite distillation of its directors preoccupations marks it out as the quintessential Resnais film. Looking for Muriel examines both the film and its setting of Boulogne-sur-Mer, and also delves into numerous related areas, including the Algerian War, the French New Wave cinema movement, the Second World War, and the wider careers of both Alain Resnais and Muriels incomparable star, Delphine Seyrig. Muriels intricate editing and complex script are also discussed, as are other films which touch on similar themes. Darren Arnold is a film critic and author of Devils Advocates: The Devils and The Pocket Essential Spike Lee. He lives near London with his family.
