Wild Grass – 4

This movie signifies the decline of French civilization, or French cinema, or the career of Alain Resnais. Or maybe, as other reviewers claim, it is a masterpiece. To me, nothing made sense. Unlike Marienbad, where inscrutability created a mood and fomented ratiocinization, here the musical score was unduly portentous and the characters left me cold. I searched reviews to understand the ending, but of course reviews have an excuse for ducking that point. I did find Anne Consigny quite attractive.
