I Love You I Love You (1968) by Alain Resnais.

“It’s my most recent film shock since I discovered it only two years ago on an old VHS. It had just been shown again lately but we were not in Paris at that time. I absolutely wanted to watch it and Jean Claude [Brisseau] told me he had a VHS copy of the film since the film had been shown on TV a few years before. He watched the five first minutes with me and left me there alone. When the movie was over, it had moved me in such a way I cried for twenty minutes on the couch. I couldn’t stand up, I couldn’t stop the videoprojector nor the tape. I just wanted one thing, deep in my heart: to see Alain Resnais in front of me and tell him “this is it, that’s what it’s all about”. I could search and explain why and how but this very abstract film, which could be called intellectual -a thing I hate: intellectualism in general and especially in cinema, which for me must deal at first with emotions-, stunned me. I was stunned with emotions. I was crying but it was not out of relief. I was deeply moved and I am again just by talking about it. »
