E.T.A. Hoffmanns Der Sandmann

Daniel brings his girlfriend Clara to his birthplace in Italy for what is ostensibly a vacation, but in reality is an investigation into the friend of his late father, one Coppola, otherwise known as “The Sandman”. It is not long before Daniel finds himself drawn into an affair with Coppola’s beautiful daughter Olympia, and caught up in some bizarre conspiracy involving a traumatic childhood memory. One reviewer noted that The Sandman very much resembles the cyclical and repetitious nature of Last Year at Marienbad, but it has more in common with Alain Robbe-Grillet’s The Immortal One, especially in its depiction of a protagonist haunted by a mysterious woman and a complex conspiracy just barely hidden under the surface.
