Je t'aime, je t'aime

Je t'aime, je t'aime

Claude leaves hospital recovered from a failed suicide attempt when some scientists offer him the chance to be part of a project. He will be the first human subject in a time travel experiment. Travelling back in time one year for just one minute, he becomes lost in a continually shifting mosaic of temporal episodes. A noted influence on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in Je t’aime, je t’aime, Alain Resnais (Last Year in Marienbad) brings his cinematic obsession of time to the fore in this ingenious melding of sci-fi and romance.

Press:

"People weren’t then ready for this quiet mixture of science fiction with a love story as subtle as anything in Rohmer or Rivette. But with Marker’s La Jetée and Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris, it is part of a holy trinity of meditations on the horrors of eternal life.” - Raymond Durgnat
