Synopsis
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.

Review
"Here is Robbe-Grillet at his best: witty, controversial, and often brilliant. Even his detractors will be charmed by his intelligence as they gain insight into films as varied as Last Year at Marienbad or The Man Who Lies. Robbe-Grillet’s contribution here is both theoretical and practical in that he offers critical insight into films that often seem impervious." Choice
