Melo
Known for stylistically adventurous films like "Last Year at Marienbad", French director Alain Resnais transitions to a self-conciously subdued form in "Melo". Adapted from the 1929 play by Henri Bernstein, the film follows the evolving love triangle between a violinist's wife and his best friend. "Melo" is short for melodrama, and the film offers a wonderful exercise in that tried-and-true form.
