A French sci-fi back in the 1970s. Interesting

A French sci-fi back in the 1970s. Interesting in premise but so broken & fragmented when executing.

All you diehard fans of Eternal Sunshine of

All you diehard fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind need to hop on this seldom-mentioned Alain Resnais film; the disjointed, fractured storytelling about a tormented relationship that Charlie Kaufman kneaded into critical adoration was pioneered by Resnais here, and Je T'Aime, Je T'Aime may have ended up a classic on par with the director's own Hiroshima Mon Amour or Last Year at Marienbad, if perhaps not for the surprise cancellation of Cannes due to the May 68 movement. In this film, a man (Claude Rich's Claude Ridder) departs from the hospital after a suicide attempt only to be immediately picked up by a pair of strange men, who whisk him away to a countryside retreat where they dabble in time experiments. Here, Claude is recruited to be the first human to go back in time, but the experiment goes slightly awry, turning his brief journey into a fragmented retelling of much of his own life, particularly the evolution of his relationship with his lover Catrine (Olga Georges-Picot). While the use of the time machine itself is less about giving Claude an opportunity for self-realization than it is about allowing the audience a peak into his character, emotional pain, and past misdeeds (thinking back to how well Kaufman integrated the mechanic into his protagonist's story), there's still a very clever sense of imagination in the use of time travel and the retrofuturistic designs associated with making it a reality - the time machine itself has an organic, almost cloudlike design to it - and much of this creativity comes courtesy of famed French science fiction author Jacques Sternberg. The big limitation of Je T'Aime, Je T'Aime is its tendency to tread over the same ground with an incremental sense of story progression, but a film of this radical design with such a prominent director should probably get more recognition even it has all the melodrama and theatrics of a very French love story. (3.5/5)
