NEW YORK, NY – MAY 8, 2014 – Kino Lorber is proud to announce the Blu-ray releases of three more films from acclaimed French novelist, filmmaker, and Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet: Eden & After, along with the complete alternate version of the film, N. Took the Dice.

These three films join Kino Lorber’s previous releases of Trans-Europ-Express,Successive Slidings of Pleasure, and L’Immortelle in The Cinema of Alain Robbe-Grillet, a collection of six films from this influential writer-director whose work weaves his personal themes of sadomasochism within an intricate web of experimental storytelling. Robbe-Grillet’s unique and distinctive narrative approach earned him an Academy Award® nomination for Best Screenplay for Alain Resnais’ Last Year at Marienbad in 1962, and these releases from Kino Lorber display his mastery of both writing and directing.

This Blu-ray will be released on May 27th, priced at $34.95 each, mastered in HD from original 35mm elements and featuring an interview with Robbe-Grillet as well as trailers for his other films.

EDEN AND AFTER 

(includes the complete alternate version, N. TOOK THE DICE)

Blu-ray Street Date: May 27, 2014

From the darkly erotic imagination of Alain Robbe-Grillet (Trans-Europ-Express) comes EDEN AND AFTER, a dreamlike fable in which a group of decadent French students are drawn into the psychological and sexual games of a mysterious Dutchman (Pierre Zimmer). Once they imbibe his “fear powder”, the students experience a series of hallucinatory episodes: ruminations on death, explorations of sexual curiosity, and striking tableaux of sado-masochistic fantasy. This special edition includes an interview with writer/director Robbe-Grillet, and a complete alternate cut of the film, entitled N. TOOK THE DICE.

Special Features:

Newly mastered in HD from the original 35mm elements
