Alain Resnais's ingenious melding of sci-fi and romance centres on Claude Ridder, who, following a failed suicide attempt, is asked by some scientists to participate in a mysterious time-travel experiment. Travelling back in time one year for just one minute, he becomes lost in a continually shifting mosaic of temporal episodes.

Alain Robbe-Grillet’s serpentine erotic mystery presented as a surreal investigation into a woman with feared sexual powers.
