      Judith Crist New York Magazine/Vulture The blend of style and theme result in an exciting and haunting film. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com As visually stunning as many of the composed frames are in L'Immortelle, it seems a rather flimsy mindf---. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 4, 2020 Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator Pretentious, undeniably. Yet there is a hypnotic lure which has to do almost entirely with the setting. Apr 11, 2016 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com One doesn't casually come to L'immortelle. There has to be a willingness to take on such intentionally distanced filmmaking, leaving the picture only for the most courageous of art-house adventurers.

      Audience Member Yapım yılına göre basarili sayılabilecek bir kurgu.Anlatımı standardın disinda.İzlenebilir.Eski İstanbul'u izlemek guzeldi. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review edmund p http://letterboxd.com/edmundpoliks/film/limmortelle/ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Directorial debut by famed New Novel author, Alain Robbe-Grillet, who had earlier written Last Year at Marienbad for Alain Resnais. Here, the obfuscation continues. We are in Turkey and a French man who is later called Andre meets and pursues a woman who may be called Lale or Leila or something else. The foley artists are working overtime creating sounds that somehow do not seem to belong (too loud and often of uncertain origin). There is foreshadowing of a tragic event. Lale goes missing and Andre spends most of the latter half of the film looking for her. Does she speak Turkish? Is she married? Is she somehow involved in a human trafficking ring? Robbe-Grillet's gaze is steady and the films images are repetitive, almost hypnotic, like the long belly-dancing scene thrown in for good measure. Some might find this pretentious (more so than Last Year) but, for me, the Middle Eastern music and chanting lends it the quality of a dream or a drone (a drone-like dream) that is somehow bewitching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A French professor vacationing in Istanbul falls in love with a mysterious woman, who then disappears. Disorienting and dreamlike, this is a carefully designed, melancholy paradox--MARIENBAD with a touch of VERTIGO. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member wonderful soundscape and backdrop of istanbul make this worth watching, even if we don't know quite what happened Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member اÙØ­Ù,ÙÙ,Ø (C) ÙØ (R)ÙØ· ÙØ­ÙÙ Ù...٠اÙاÙÙاÙ...
