Alain Robbe-Grillet

Alain Robbe-Grillet was a French writer and filmmaker known for his role in the Nouveau Roman (New Novel) movement, which challenged traditional storytelling by emphasizing detailed descriptions, ambiguity, and unconventional narrative structures. His works often focus on surfaces and textures rather than straightforward plots, inviting readers to interpret meaning through sensory impressions. Robbe-Grillet's films similarly emphasize visual precision and ambiguity, breaking away from classic narrative conventions. His innovative approach influenced postmodern literature and cinema, encouraging a deeper engagement with form and perception.
