The main characters of "L'Annee Derniere a Marienbad" did not appear until 15 minutes after the beginning of the film, completely abandoning the character and even individual-centered theatrical structure of Hollywood. This is not just an innovation in film techniques in a pure sense, but more importantly. Movies are embodied by literary elements and mental control. Many actions of the heroine in the film are unclear, making it difficult for the audience to understand. In many cases, the actions and reactions of the characters make it impossible for the audience to directly understand their motives and goals. At the same time, whether the theme of love exists in the film is even more questionable. Although the film starts from the first dialogue scene, it is full of the illusion of the hero's love for the heroine, but the expression of this feeling is always difficult to break through the dialogue and reach a new level. The atmosphere created by the whole film makes the audience not only rely on the protagonist's large-scale narration and persuasion, but also clearly expresses that these dialogues and words are difficult to connect with the love theme on the surface of the film. Dialogue and voice-over are no longer limited to the meaning of the text itself, but a tool for the pursuit of literary picture expression.

If there are people who don’t know what is called a literary film in a literary film, I am afraid this film can be used as a textbook definition: 1) French New Wave 2) Black and White Old Film 3) Literary Film Title Guide 4) Writer Film 5) Narrative Time and Space Confusion 6) Beautiful words, narration/confessions a lot 7) Exaggerated shooting techniques, such as character freezes and a series of strong flashbacks 8) The plot is downplayed, and it takes more than an hour to talk about a man seducing a woman away 9) Contains metaphors 10) Metaphysical, unintelligible.

1. The image of poetry, the rhythm of music; 2. Return to the essence of film as video art, rather than the aid of narration; 3. There is no beginning and end ring; 4. The dialogue and struggle of desire, the dialogue between the audience and the author Fighting with each other; 5. The integrity and sense of space of the film as an independent art form.

X: I must have you alive. Alive, as you have already been every evening, for weeks, for months.
A: I have never stayed so long anywhere.
X: Yes, I know. I don't care. For days and days. Why don't you still want to remember anything?
A: You're raving! I'm tired, leave me alone!

X: [Last Lines] The grounds of the hotel were symmetrically arranged, without trees or flowers, or plants of any kind. The gravel, the stone, and the marble were spread in strict array in unmysterious shapes. At first sight, it seemed impossible to lose your way. At first sight... Along these stone paths and amidst these statues, where you were already losing your way forever in the still night, alone with me.
