He is a bitter man and he shows, through flashbacks, how spiteful, conniving and treacherous his family is. But is this how they really are or is it his own vindictive slant on things?
Plot: On the eve of his 78th birthday, the ailing, alcoholic writer Clive Langham spends a painful and sleepless night mentally composing and recomposing scenes for a novel in which characters based on his own family are shaped by his fantasies and memories, alongside his caustic commentary on their behaviour.

Same director, same subject, another masterpiece
In Providence, his only film in English Language, Resnais again approaches the most recurrent subject in his career: the memory. Here, he explores how one’s feelings can affect it: the life of the writer reflects directly on his view of his son and the wife of this one, and their respective (supposed) lovers, which actually are a representation of the writer’s alienation, guilt and self-depreciation. It shows how memory can be more painful than any pain of the flesh, and even worse than reality itself. Like everything i’ve seen from Resnais so far (Night and Fog, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Mon Oncle D’Amérique and one of my favorite films, Last Year in Marienbad), this one is a very deep and original masterpiece.
A brilliant film, viscerally satisfying
This film is a rare treat in which both the head and the heart are dazzled by a real work of art. Alain Renais’ beautiful and brilliant “Providence” might play as intellectual absurdism at first glance, until one realizes the point of view from which the movie is being told. It’s a pity we had to wade through decades of tedious, stilted performances from Geilgud, but it was worth the wait because in “Providence” he springs full flower with a stunning turn as a second-rate British novelist, who will never be as good as Graham Greene. Geilgud is ably supported by Bogarde, Burstyn, and Warner as his seeming calous children. Powerful stuff.
