In this whimsical fable, Resnais deftly interweaves three story lines: the creation of an early-20th-century utopia; romantic high jinks at a school conference; and a fantasy sparked by F/X pioneer Georges Méliès.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Resnais weaves together three interlocking narratives, a utopian dream, romantic entanglement, and the magic of early cinema, into a kaleidoscopic meditation on idealism and desire. It's a deliberately playful, puzzle-box film that rewards attention and resists easy answers.
