Drawing on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, the satires of Bunuel and
Resnais’ own catalogue, Vous n’avez
encore rien vu presents a gathering of cast members paying homage to the
life of a famous theatrical director after his sudden death (likely, Resnais
himself). The vanguard thespians watch
a performance of the play Eurydice cast
with younger talent while reliving their roles as past performers. The old versus young dynamic
illustrates Resnais-as-artist: one of the most prolific directors of our time
bidding farewell and passing the reigns to the next generation. Though lagging towards the middle, the
film serves as his capstone.
