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 Trintignant (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 6-Disc DVD box set includes: The Immortal One (1964), Trans-Europ Express (1967), The Man Who Lies (1968), Eden and After (1970), N. Rolls the Dice (1971) and Successive Slidings Into Pleasure (1974).
- All six films digitally remastered in High Definition
- Video introductions by Catherine Robbe-Grillet

Cast and Crew: Directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet (influential writer of the French classic Last Year in Marienbad).

Awards and Reviews:
'Trans-Europ Express is as challenging and influential again today as it was in the 1960s – a key text of the post-war European avant-garde. But it is, above all, as an enjoyable and witty movie that this film has remained a classic.'

Blast from the past
I'm old enough to remember 'Last Year in Marienbad' being in the cinema, and being taken by the style of storytelling and visual effects. So I fell for the six film collection. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a moment, and it will come together and make sense, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience: in many ways the storytelling is surprisingly modern. The background notes, and introductions are full of revelation. Zavvi's service was quick, efficient, and without a flaw- I shall be back!
