Imran Khan PopMatters Playing With Fire outlines a style that is all the filmmaker’s own: combining the erotic film with the thriller, the mystery, and the madcap comedy, Robbe-Grillet fashions something entirely else altogether with the elements of his choosing.

Alain E This is one of the craziest films available for streaming. I doubt that when originally released almost 50 years ago it was not heavily censored. Now you can watch it on Tubi. In essence is a series of images and sequences that Robbe-Grillet wanted projected. There is a story and even a happy ending but this is not the point of the movie. Excellent technical quality and acting. I suspect there are more naked scenes with Sylvia Kristel than in the Emmanuelle series. Along the way there is implied incest and sadomasochism. Also reference to Cezanne’s the card players. We are watching somebody’s dreams and nightmares. Definitely not porn. For the latter Pornhub is a better destination. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
