OverviewPlacing Robbe-Grillet's filmic oeuvre in the related contexts of both his novelistic work and the different historical and cultural periods in which his films were made, the book traces lines of influence and continuity throughout this oeuvre which is shown to exhibit a preoccupation with an identifiable body of themes, motifs and structures.

Smyth. French Studies This overdue study makes for an erudite introduction and thoroughly explanatory 'user guide' to its slightly forbidding subject. Philips' study broadly revolves around the psychological, plastic and self-reflexive qualities of Robbe-Grillet's films. -- Jonathan L. Owen.
