MUBI's take

One of Susan Sontag’s favorites, Alain Resnais’ acclaimed Mélo shines through its interplay between the theatrical and cinematic. Adapting Henri Bernstein’s play closely, Resnais’s rendition varies with immaculate long takes and compositions, highlighting outstanding performances from his actors.
