What Trans-Europ-Express Is About
Trans-Europ-Express opens on a train journey where director Robbe-Grillet, playing himself, along with his wife Catherine and his publisher Jérôme Lindon, invents a film premise about a drug smuggler; Jean-Louis Trintignant appears to board the train by chance and is cast into that fictional role. This marked the first collaboration between Trintignant and Robbe-Grillet. In his 1963 essay collection Pour un nouveau roman, Robbe-Grillet had argued that traditional novels create an illusion of order, an idea that directly informs the film's self-reflexive structure, which makes its own filmmaking process the subject. Who it's for: anyone curious about a writer bringing his novelistic theory to cinema, blending fiction and reality within the film's own production process. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a linear, conventional narrative.
