Page "Last Year at Marienbad" Paragraph 7

L ' Année dernière à Marienbad was created out of an unusual collaboration between its writer Alain Robbe-Grillet and its director Alain Resnais.

Robbe-Grillet described its basis: " Alain Resnais and I were able to collaborate only because we had seen the film in the same way from the start, and not just in the same general outlines but exactly, in the construction of the least detail as in its total architecture.

What I wrote might have been what was already in mind ; what he added during the shooting was what I might have written.

... Paradoxically enough, and thanks to the perfect identity of our conceptions, we almost always worked separately.
