La Femme de nulle part (1922) - film review

  Louis Delluc Drama / Fantasystars 4
Summary
A fifty year old woman, scarred by a life of disillusionment and regret, returns to the place where she lived twenty years before, to rekindle happier memories.  She meets a young woman, the daughter of the current owners of the property, who is on the point of abandoning her home – just as she did,  all those years ago...
Review
Louis Delluc’s memorable experiment in impressionist cinema provided a fascinating study in time and memory.  It was to be a source of inspiration for successive filmmakers, not least of whom was Alain Resnais, who would use this film as a model for much of his work.
