‘Last Year at Marienbad’: Vintage 1960s cigarette ad pays homage to avant garde art house classic
In the early 1960s, advertising probably really didn’t get any more avant garde than this homage of Alain Resnais’ “mysterious” (some might say “confusing,” others “pompous”) Last Year at Marienbad, perhaps the ultimate incomprehensible “foreign film.”
Around the time of its 1961 release, Marienbad was much parodied. This seems more sincere than a lampooning, though.
Thank you kindly, Steven Otero!
