WANTED: More Robbe-Grillet films
My eyes just about popped out of my skull when I saw LA BELLE CAPTIVE sitting on the shelf of the local video store. I've been pining away for literally decades awaiting the availability of Robbe-Grillet's work on DVD. I had heard he prefers for his films to play the big screen, so outside of some fringe arthouse revival, my chances of seeing such alluring prospects as PROGRESSIVE SLIDINGS INTO PLEASURE and EDEN AND AFTER are slim indeed. It was evident from LA BELLE CAPTIVE, that Robbe-Grillet is a masterful filmmaker as well as novelist, whose surreal tableaux suggests Bunuel and Lynch, and whose style does not seem dated at all 25 years later after its release. If anyone has leads as to future release dates for his other films, please fill in the gaps.
