Synopsis:
Again dealing with the issue of memory, Resnais's central theme in this film is the French national library. Through shots of the building’s interior and carefully catalogued books, the film shows the library as a kind of museum of collective memory, knowledge and culture - and at the same time as a cold and alien prison.
