Melinda in conversation with Alain Robbe-grillet

Despite self-imposed periods of abstinence before the completion of a film, Alain Robbe-Grillet is well known for the bouts of theorizing that follow.

"The camber records surfaces and the 'meaning' of the images does not interest me. I don not use symbolism in my films."

"My films are not erotically stimulating. There is a complete difference between my film and a pornographic film. They aim to excite the audience. I intend to deprive these images of excitement and hope to reveal their banality."

"I never make films for a particular audience, and when I started directingI felt my films did not cater to any existing public. But I seem to have created one myself."

The full interview between Melinda and Alain can be found in the book Through Parisian Eyes available on Amazon
