Wood on Current Fiction

[Dave Monroe]

So would I.  As opposed to his screenplays.  So let me
know if you can find copies of these ...

Les Gommes (1969)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0064378/

In the Labyrinth (1976)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0074674/

La belle captive (1983)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0085226/

But I'm guessing yr familiar with the stuff he
wrote/directed expressly for the screen ...

http://imdb.com/name/nm0730237/

... though I didn't realize he played Goncourt in
Raoul Ruiz's Time Regained (1999), and I saw that a
couple/three times.  Of course, Robbe-Grillet, along
with fellow, er, romanistes nouvelles ('zat right, 
Michel?) like Claude Simon (see esp. Triptych and
Conducting Bodies) and (fellow lady screenwriter as
well) Marguerite Duras, is, in his own inimitable (or
maybe it's eminently imitable) way, greatly indebted
to cinema (that "chosime" thing et al.).  David Lynch
oughtta do, say, AR-G's Djinn someday, both Lost
Highway and Mulholand Drive read like R-G novels ...
