Alain Resnais

Master of the French New Wave, Alain Resnais was born in 1922 in Vannes, Brittany, France. He was active as a filmmaker from 1946 until his death in 2014, predominantly in the genres of drama, romance, and documentary, with his most renowned films being "Hiroshima mon amour," "Last Year at Marienbad," and "Muriel." Resnais received numerous awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for "Last Year at Marienbad," and his distinct authorial style often explored memory, time, and the blurring line between reality and imagination. Alain Resnais was not just a director but a true artist, painting his stories with a deep understanding of human nature and an unflinching gaze into the complexities of our lives.
