Master director Alain Resnais (Last Year At Marienbad) blurs the line between cinematic technique and theatrical artifice in his acclaimed Mélo, adapted from Henri Bernstein s classic play about a doomed love triangle in 1920s Paris. Pierre (Pierre Arditi, Love Unto Death) and Marcel (André Dussollier, A Good Marriage) are both celebrated concert violinists and lifelong friends, in spite of their differing temperaments. Pierre is modest, sensitive and content with his lot; Marcel is hungry, driven, and pursues a solo career that takes him to the four corners of the world. After years apart, the two friends reunite when Pierre invites Marcel to his home for dinner. It is then that Marcel first meets Pierre s wife Romaine (Sabine Azéma, Cosmos), sparking a passionate affair that can only end in tragedy before the curtain falls. As thrillingly intimate on film as it was on the stage, Mélo s César award-winning cast and inventive direction are highlighted in a stunning new restoration, revealing a hidden gem in Resnais celebrated body of work waiting to be rediscovered.

Boasting a collection of some of the most celebrated names in French cinema, all playing themselves; Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace), Lambert Wilson (Of Gods and Men), Michel Piccoli (Belle de Jour), Anne Consigny (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), Sabine Azema (Wild Grass), Hippolyte Girardot (Paris je t'aime), Pierre Arditi (Private Fears in Public Places), Denis Podalyd's (The Da Vinci Code); Alain Resnais' You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet is an elegant spectacle of theatre, memory and reality, typical of the legendary Director. A group of friends are summoned to the estate of a celebrated playwright to hear what they believe to be the reading of his will. Instead they are treated to a viewing of his work 'Eurydice', performed by a group of fresh young actors. Having at one time or another all starred in the play themselves, they are tasked with judging whether or not it is deemed worthy of being performed within the late playwright's estate. However, when they slowly begin to interact with the play, acting out their performances from years long past, their absorption with both the on screen performance and their own memories causes their interaction to drift from reality into the increasingly surreal.
