Description and Table of Contents

Description

In a revealing series of interviews, Anthony N. Fragola and Roch C. Smith examine all nine of Robbe-Grillet s films, specifically exploring the cultural milieu to which the films are closely related.Readers are encouraged to view Robbe-Grillet from a variety of perspectives: as the "auteur "who probes various stylistic techniques and devices, especially the use of eroticism as a structural metaphor; as the international artist; as the detached observer; and as the impassioned creator. The nine films covered are "Last Year at Marienbad, L Immortelle, Trans-Europ-Express, The Man Who Lies, Eden and After, N Took the Dice, The Progressive Slidings of Pleasure, Playing with Fire, "and "La Belle Captive." Along with interviews available nowhere else, this book includes a gallery of illustrations from Robbe-Grillet s films as well as a filmography and bibliography of work by and about Robbe-Grillet."
