Product Description

ALAIN ROBBE-GRILLET: SIX FILMS 1963-1974 (Blu-ray Box Set)

Perhaps best known as the writer of Alain Resnais' classic cine-conundrum Last Year of Marienbad, Alain Robbe-Grillet was also the director a number of stylish, controversial and erotic films which starred such icons of French cinema as Jean-Louis Trinignant (Haneke's Amour, Bertolucci's The Conformist), Marie-France Pisier (Truffaut's Stolen Kisses and Bed and Board) and Isabelle Huppert (Claire Denis' White Material, Haneke's Amour).

Impossible to see for decades, these enigmatic, sexually-charged films have now been collected together for the very first time, and are made available here in beautifully remastered High Definition presentations, with extra features including video introductions by Catherine Robbe-Grillet, filmed interviews with Alain Robbe-Grillet by Frederic Taddei, and newly-recorded, exclusive feature-length commentaries by cult cinema authority Tim Lucas.

This Blu-ray box set includes: The Immortal One (1963), Trans-Europ Express (1967), The Man Who Lies (1968), Eden and After (1970), N. Rolls the Dice (1971) and Successive Slidings Into Pleasure (1974).

5.0 out of 5 starsROBBE-GRILLET BOX SET - AT LAST!
By Johnny Guitar on 11 July 2014
Format: DVD
Alain Robbe-Grillet started out in 1950s as a 'serious' avant garde novelist with the nouveau roman and collaborated with Resnais on the arthouse hit Last Year at Marienbad. But half way through the 1960s he seems to have reinvented himself as a prankster provocateur, making films based on ideas of games & role-play and, not unrelated, his obsession with sadomasochistic role-play. The French New Wave was not amused & denounced the films as both shallow sub-Godard & a throwback to surrealism, and the films became even more unfashionable in 1970s, seen as politically incorrect, especially from a feminist point of view.
However, the 1990s explosion of interest in 'cult' cinema led to a revival of interest in Robbe-Grillet, although people generally only know his films from poor copies of old videos, often without subtitles, circulating online.
So this BFI box set has been genuinely long awaited & I'm pleased to report that it is just about exactly what people have been hoping for - 6 films on 5 discs: restored prints, new English subtitles, each film also has its trailer, long interviews with Robbe-Grillet filmed shortly before his death (he doesn't look a well man) plus new short personal (& eccentric) introductions to each film by Catherine Robbe-Grillet and detailed & informative audio commentaries from cult film guru Tim Lucas. There's also a booklet with an overview essay. Unfortunately there is one film from the period Le Jeu avec le feu (1975) missing - oh well you can't have everything.
Robbe-Grillet uses pulp fiction plots but reorders the scenes into various permutations, like a set of musical variations.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBFI blu-ray boxset
By Blood Freak on 4 July 2014
Format: Blu-ray
An excellent boxset of three blu-ray discs (BD50 in each case), each of which contains two films from Alain Robbe-Grillet.

The films themselves are interesting slices of non-linear, arthouse/surrealism with lashes of trashy sex and B-movie conventions throughout.

The most famous of these is the once-controversial Trans Europ Express, which still packs a punch and is easily the most accessible film here.

Having said that, Successive Slidings of Pleasure has a dark murder mystery at its core and is filled with haunting, graphic imagery (such as the photo on the boxset's cover).

Eden and After is also startling.

Picture quality for each film is very, very good (1080p HD). Original French audio in Master HD with optional English subtitles.

Extras include thorough Tim Lucas commentaries, 30-minute interviews with Robbe-Grillet for each film, introductions from his widow, and a collectors booklet with excellent liner notes.

The discs are Region B.

A fine set, well done BFI. Not for everyone, very arty and kinky. But I loved it.

By Dom Vlad Malic on 24 Sept. 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Alain Robbe-Grillet was not so much an enfant-terrible of the french cinema as an enfant-coquin. His films really do make you feel like a voyeur rather than a seer - but they are not without art. Having said this, I feel that his 'La Belle Captive' (not in this box set) is poor, very poor.

Most of the women featured in his films (and the focus is very much on females) including his wife, are very, very beautiful. The cinema-photography is excellent - whether in black and white or colour. The script is, well, an attempt at surrealism without the greatness of Buñuel - and has many repetitive 'icons' or 'fetishes' - the colour red, broken glass, shoes, the female body, the shore. I feel that his films are a product of passion of anteros rather than eros (unrequited, physical passion rather than spiritual, unconditional love) which seem to reflect Robbe=Grillet's own condition.

For anyone interested in French or word cinema - they are a must. But do not expect to be entertained. I've struggled trying to contextualise his work - and the best I can come up with is a cross between Dali and a more Gallic, sophisticated (if there can be such a thing) Benny Hill.

2.0 out of 5 starsDownhill all the way.
By Amazon Customer on 29 Nov. 2015
Format: DVD
I first saw a bit of Last year in Marienbad at university, only a bit as, despite being young and sober I fell asleep. When I did so I was watching someone walking about in corridors and gardens and when I woke up the same thing was going on. Not necessarily the same someone.
This didn't make me rush out to see any more Robbe-Grillet films, which was just as well as just about nobody could see them.
So, nearly fifty years later these six films turned up. Pretty cheap so why not buy them.
I'm not going to review them. However, I'll describe some characteristics.
1. R-G has no interest in male characters. Virtually all are either puddings staring into nowhere or, in the later films vile posh kids. The only exception is Trintingnant who lights up the screen whenever he appears. This saves two of these films from the awfulness surrounding them.
2. His great film innovation is that he makes no distinction between the "real" events in the film and imagined ones. As there is mostly no way to distinguish between the two, it is impossible to make a coherent narrative out of ANY of them.
3. He is obsessed by voyeurism. This largely consists of as much nudity as he can get away with. The more there is the worse the films become. I have no objection to sex, which hardly appears in these films, and nudity. When voyeurism clearly becomes the sole interest of the director we must tolerate it or reject it. I reject it. In passing; look up Wikipedia for the lives of the women who spend most of their time naked in the later films and note their sad and short lives. Possibly a coincidence.
Enough. I'm well experienced in both advanced film and literature. Not shocked. The simple fact that this emperor has no clothes.
