Perhaps best known as the writer of Alain Resnais' classic cine-conundrum 'Last Year in Marienbad', and as a leading novelist in the nouveau roman movement, Alain Robbe-Grillet was the director of a number of playful, stylish and controversial films which starred such icons of French cinema as Jean-Louis Trintignant and Isabelle Huppert. Impossible to see for decades, these enigmatic, erotically charged films have now been collected together for the very first time.
Eden and After (1970)This plodding film concerns the bored college students who hang out at the cafe Eden. Hoping for adventure, one girl gets more than she bargains for when she and her date are chased by vicious gang members. She manages to escape when he is killed, but when she returns with help, the body is gone. Soon she is off to Tunisia to locate a stolen painting.
