L'Amour a mort (1984) *
Alain Resnais' most difficult film, and that's saying something about the director of "L'Annee derniere a Marienbad" (1961), "Muriel ou le temps d'un retour" (1963) and "Providence" (1977). But unlike those earlier masterpieces, "L'Amour a mort" isn't just difficult, but extremely boring as well, though, to be fair, not nearly as boring as "Je t'aime je t'aime" (1968).
