Nude: Glissements progressifs du plaisir 1973 Nude Scenes

Glissements progressifs du plaisir (1973), a.k.a. Successive Slidings of Pleasure, tells the story of a girl (Anicée Alvina) who is on trial for the murder of her roommate in a kind of modern-day witch hunt. Director Alain Robbe-Grillet is best known as one of the fathers of the "new novel" movement in French literature and the writer of Alain Resnais's film Last Year at Marienbad (1961), but his output in the 1970s was a veritable orgy of blood and sex. Glissements, his most notorious film, is chockfull of lesbianism, sadomasochism, and wall-to-wall Gallic girl flesh. The people of France, recognizing that it takes a true genius to cram this much T&A into an art film, elected Robbe-Grillet to the Académie française in 2004. We'd like to thank the Académie for this opportunity to make some slidings for our own pleasure.
