In his final two films , Resnais again drew his source material from the theatre . '' Vous n'avez encore rien vu '' ( '' You Ai n't Seen Nothin ' Yet ! '' , 2012 ) was adapted from two plays by Jean Anouilh , and it assembled thirteen actors ( many of them regular performers in Resnais 's earlier films ) who have been summoned by the dying wish of an author to witness a new performance their roles in one of his plays . The film was shown in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival . '' Aimer , boire et chanter '' ( 2014 ) was the third film which Resnais adapted from a play by Alan Ayckbourn , in this case '' Life of Riley '' , in which three couples are thrown into confusion by the news that a shared friend has a terminal illness . Three weeks before Resnais 's death , the film received its premiere in the competition section of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2014 , where it won a Silver Bear award " for a feature film that opens new perspectives " . At the time of his death , Resnais was preparing a further Ayckbourn project , based on the 2013 play '' Arrivals & Departures ''
