  How can a documentary about library archives be so wonderful? Graceful tracking shots (reminiscent of director Alain Resnais' subsequent "Last Year at Marienbad") and an elegant musical score are among the reasons. Some heavyweight names in the credits, beyond Resnais: Maurice Jarre, Georges Delerue, Chris Marker and Agnes Varda.

  Alain Resnais short film about the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Resnais uses fast moving camera shots through corridors and around corners which he would also later use in Last Year In Marienbad. Also look out for Agnes Varda who features in a few scenes as an extra.
