Trans-Europ-Express

This stylish, cult 1966 erotic thriller stars French new wave icons Jean-Louis Trintignant and Marie-France Pisier. Trintignant plays a drug courier smuggling a stash of cocaine from Paris to Antwerp on the Trans-Europ-Express. Matters are complicated by surreal encounters with police, three filmmakers who are also on the train making a film about drug-traffickers and erotic-fantasy sequences featuring Pisier being bound and subjected to Trintignant's will. Originally banned by the BBC for scenes of sexual sadism and bondage, Trans-Europ-Express was written and directed by ground-breaking and daring filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, best known for his experimental novels, and for writing Alain Resnais Last Year at Marienbad.
