For the latest Eros + Massacre episode, designer, writer, musician, and jack of all trades Christopher Norris joined me to talk about one of our mutual favorites, Alain Robbe-Grillet, a giant of modern French literature, a genius filmmaker, and an unabashed pervert. We focused on three of his classic films, each from a different decade: Trans-Europ-Express (1966), Le jeu avec le feu (Playing with Fire, 1975), and La belle captive (The Beautiful Prisoner, 1983). And of course the conversation includes everything from Jess Franco and Jacques Rivette to Marguerite Duras and White Chicks, among other things.

You can find Christopher at Steakmtn.com, on Instagram, and on Twitter. His fiction is here at Asterism Books.

Additional notes:
We talk a lot about Pete Tombs and Cathal Tohill’s extremely influential Immoral Tales book, which is out of print but absolutely worth hunting down. Read the Catherine Robbe-Grillet profile I mentioned here. Here’s some short evidence of Robbe-Grillet’s genius as a thinker and critic (on Hitchcock vs Antonioni, with subtitles).

Thanks as always to Cinepunx and please rate, review, follow, and share!
