SUCESSIVE SLIDINGS OF PLEASURE (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Alain Robbe-Grillet
Cult erotic drama from one of the most ground-breaking and daring of the post-war French filmmakers, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Isabelle Huppert.
A young woman is questioned by the police and the judges, suspected of being a modern witch. The girl who shared her apartment has been found dead, bound to the posts of her bed, a pair of scissors impaled in her heart. Does the woman have the powers to make all around her fall prey to her spell, forcing them to slide progressively into desire, lust and, ultimately, the unknown.
Written and directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet, best known for his experimental post-war novels, and writer of Alain Resnais' Last Year in Marienbad.
This is one of the first in a collection of BFI releases which finally make the films of Robbe-Grillet's films available for the first time. Each title is released on DVD and Blu-ray in a Dual Format Edition.
Special Features
- Presented in both High Definition and Standard Definition
- Extensive booklet with essay by Ben Hervey and full film credits
- Other extras TBC

At first I misread the title as "Successive Sidings of Pleasure" and immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was a new volume of the British Transport Films!

From J.G. Ballard's brief and troubled tenure at the organization.

I suspect the BFI very much wanted an 18 certificate for this one!

Read on bluray.com that the BFI replied to someone on Twitter saying all the releases had been delayed but a new schedule would be released soon.
