Last Year in Marianbad

Last Year in Marianbad, from what I was able to gather, is about a guy remembering his time at a hotel with a woman who doesn't remember it. There's another guy there too and he likes to play this game where you pick up objects that are arranged in a triangle. The first guy keeps telling his story over and over again. Sometimes he adds new details but usually he just slowly repeats himself. Despite repeating himself his story keeps changing and very few of the details remain consistent. At one point he claims he shot the woman which is strange because it's her to whom he is telling the story. Seems like a bit of a plot hole in his narrative.

Speaking of holes in narrative, this movie is a sieve. Trying to find a narrative in this movie is like trying to carry water in a bucket of straw. The convoluted story barely has time to get out a plot point before it has doubled back on itself or taken a wandering tangent through the corridors of the giant mansion or hotel or palace where the movie takes place. 

At first I was inclined to believe the guy's story. The woman seemed to be either having a memory problem or lying about not remembering him. By the end I was on the woman's side. The guy was clearly deranged and whether anything he said happened or not he was being a total jerk and needed to leave her alone. The only evidence he had were the pictures and I'm with the guy who said they could have been taken by anybody anywhere. 

It's too bad the police can't raid the realm of the surreal.
