The Immortal Woman (L'Immortelle) (NR)

synopsis

This enigmatic film tells the story of N., who falls in love with the elusive stranger Leila in Istanbul. She disappears mysteriously and he is determined he will find her again. Director Robbe-Grillet plays out this dance of desire, illusion, and death in Byzantium, repeating sequences in altered form to emphasize the unreliability of fact, the elusiveness of the past.
