NEW YORK, NY - MAY 8, 2014 - Kino Lorber is proud to announce the Blu-ray releases of three more films from acclaimed French novelist, filmmaker, and Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet: The Man Who Lies, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant (Z, Amour), who won the Silver Bear for Best Actor for his performance. This film joins Kino Lorber's previous releases of Trans-Europ-Express, Successive Slidings of Pleasure, and L'Immortelle in The Cinema of Alain Robbe-Grillet, a collection of six films from this influential writer-director whose work weaves his personal themes of sadomasochism within an intricate web of experimental storytelling. Robbe-Grillet's unique and distinctive narrative approach earned him an Academy Award® nomination for Best Screenplay for Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad in 1962, and these releases from Kino Lorber display his mastery of both writing and directing.
This Blu-ray will be released on May 27th, priced at $34.95 each, mastered in HD from original 35mm elements and featuring an interview with Robbe-Grillet as well as trailers for his other films.

On the run from pursuing soldiers, Boris (Jean-Louis Trintignant) finds a refuge in a small European town which, years before, was home to Jean, a resistance fighter hunted by the Nazis. Boris ingratiates himself in the community, weaving elaborate tales of his encounters with the martyred rebel, and thereby seducing Jean's widow...and sister...and maid. But Boris' erotic games are interrupted when a mysterious stranger -- who may, in fact, be Jean -- arrives in the village.
