Providence
A Movie of Rare Intelligence
Directed by Alain Resnais
Produced by Citel Films, Action Films
A cerebral, melancholic nocturnal meditation on aging, family dysfunction, and artistic creation, where an alcoholic writer's fantasies and memories blur with caustic observation.
On the eve of his 78th birthday, ailing, alcoholic writer Clive Langham spends a painful and sleepless night mentally composing and recomposing scenes for a novel in which characters based on his own family are shaped by his fantasies and memories, alongside his caustic commentary on their behaviour.
