Best known as the writer of the quintessential arthouse puzzle film, Last Year in Marienbad he also directed a series of appropriately abstract and ambiguous arthouse oddities throughout the 60s and 70s and more sporadically after that. His debut (L'Immortelle) is the most overtly Marienbad-esque while the others combine Bunuel’s surrealism with Godard’s bold Brechtian devices delivered with Antonioni’s formal beauty and topped off with a playful S&M obsession. Recommended to anyone interested in boundary pushing and experimental cinema.
His first 6 films are available on DVD or Blu-ray in a lovely box set from BFI (UK) and possibly available to stream through the BFI player
L'Immortelle [1963]
Eden and After [1970]
Successive Slidings of Pleasure [1974]
