Moreau > Morel > Marienbad? From Beast Folk to Apparitions of the Living in H.G. Wells, Adolfo Bioy Casares and the Cinema

This chapter proposes an alternative derivation for the “meta-cinematic” theme and form of Alain Resnais’s enigmatic masterpiece, L’année dernière à Marienbad (1961), Last Year in Marienbad, which reflects on the ontology of the medium itself. It traces them to a rather unexpected source—H. G. Wells’s scientific romances and short stories.
