If cinema has its equivalents to the master modernists of music painting or literature then one of the traditions foremost practitioners is undoubtedly Alain Resnais — & Muriel ou le Temps dun retour (Muriel or: The Time of a Return) represents one of his earliest & greatest triumphs. In Resnais two preceding features (the legendary Hiroshima mon amour & Last Year at Marienbad) the master filmmaker pioneered new ways of representing inner reality & emotion; but with Muriel he merged the vicissitudes of his characters personal pasts & married them to the traumas of the political present — namely the French war in Algeria. Resnais film is the story of the middle-aged Helène (portrayed by Delphine Seyrig of Last Year at Marienbad Truffauts Stolen Kisses & Akermans Jeanne Dielman) an antique dealer located in the provinicial port-town of Boulogne-sur-Mer who resides amid her wares inside the same flat that serves as her business showroom.

Scripted by Jean Cayrol the co-writer of Resnais landmark early short film Night & Fog Muriel is one of the great family films & stands like a cinema landmark as one of the most complex & rewarding films of the 1960s — the richness of which grows with every viewing. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Alain Resnais great work for the first time on DVD in the UK. ...
