I watched 'Last Year in Marienbad' for the first time yesterday. In a film about time, the unreliability of memory, and non-linear narrative one expects confusion about past, present, future and the meaning of existence.
Perhaps Bill Clinton had Resnais' enigmatic masterpiece in mind when he made his existential comment 'it depends upon what the meaning of the word is, is' - he certainly seems to have taken much inspiration from the film.
