Here's a youtube bootleg I couldn't help watching. Emidio Greco's 1974 adaptation of Adolfo Bioy Cesares' The Invention of Morel. I heard it repeated often enough that Last Year in Marienbad was inspired by the book that I began to forget how little they have in common, which made this straight-forward adaptation a bizarre discovery. Without the narration of the fugitive it gets a little ponderous. But it has it's moments. It's almost like a silent film; it's not even much of a problem there's no subtitles. And it's interesting to see Anna Karina cast as Faustine, who was inspired by Louise Brooks.
