L'année dernière à Marienbad entre expérimentations novatrices et relativisme ontologique: antiroman, métafictionnalisation, trompe-l'œil et mise en abyme = L'année dernière à Marienbad between innovative experimentation and ontological relativism: anti-novelism, metafictionalisation, trompe-l'œil and mise en abyme

Abstract

This article analyzes the anti-novelistic and metafictional characteristics of "L'Année dernière à Marienbad," focusing on techniques like trompe-l'œil and mise en abyme. The narrative explores themes of existential void, identity loss, and emotional alienation. It discusses the deconstruction of traditional storytelling and the fluidity between reality and imagination, emphasizing labyrinthine structures, ontological relativism, and the absence of definite causality in narrative and time. The study highlights the film's open-ended nature, allowing for multiple interpretations.
