Reviews

This timely and extremely well-researched study persuasively contends that Alain Robbe-Grillet's somewhat neglected filmic oeuvre has made a much more substantial contribution to the evolution of French cinema than has hitherto been acknowledged, and attempts to rehabilitate his reputation as an innovative avant-gardist film-maker who has expanded the language of contemporary cinema. -- Edmund J. 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. An Online Journal of Television Studies, Issue 24
