La Belle Captive
Presented for the first time in a newly restored version remastered from the original 35mm negative, Alain Robbe-Grillet's erotic, surreal classic is a precursor to David Lynch's world of enigmatic characters and dreamlike encounters.
A man called Walter encounters a beautiful woman at a club then later finds her lying bound and bloodied in the road. He takes her to a nearby isolated villa where a sinister group of wealthy men in tuxedos are gathered and take a keen interest in the injured woman. The couple are given a room for the night where they are locked in. They make love but the following morning Walter wakes to find the woman gone, the a villa a deserted ruin and blood on his neck. Did it happen, or was it a dream? Nothing is quite what it seems.

Art house meets grind house in a kinky delirium!
I had read about Robbe-Grillet's films in Pete Tombs and Cathal Tohill's book IMMORAL TALES, where they are discussed along with the films of Jean ... read more »

Jean-Luc who?
I couldn't recommend this less; David Lynch it isn't. Don't waste two hours of your life. They asked for 20 words......
