alain resnais film be uncanny in the way that they aren not really edit for continuity and but instead the shot seem to finish right where a memory have edit . love unto death be at time a quiet existential drama and a roundly creative magical realist movie and and either way treat the audience to a whole new aspect of the eros or thanatos relationship . or perhaps create a new relationship and that of agape or thanatos . the beginning be like a bizarre surrealist horror movie . a woman desperately run around the house while a man lay die in his bed do she kill him and or what happen . soon that tension be dissolve a a doctor arrive and pronounce him dead and but from there a new and strange drama begin represent the man wake up and and after be dead the woman and man fall in love to actually quite tragic consequence . meanwhile and their friend and who be both priest and watch on and submit their own debate into the nature of love and faith and and devotion . resnais always seem to have some device to make these sort of narrative work and and what so amaze about his film be that those device always work . in this case and resnais intercuts the scene with shot of snow fall to an arouse orchestral score and which fade off and bleeds into the subsequent shot that continue the story . trap in this elegiac aside periodically and the film develop a rhythm not too unlike an epic poem and and i get strange flashback to dante divine comedy from this one and despite the lack of direct reference within the movie . resnais be know a a very poetic filmmaker but this extend past just the cinepoem structure to something that force a degree of introspection in the viewer and which have the possibility to bring to surface some odd recollection . memory narrative and resnais creates . polarisdib .
