About Successive Slidings of Pleasure
A young woman is questioned by the police and the judges, suspected of being a modern witch. The girl who shared her apartment has been found dead, and a pair of scissors impaled through her heart, as she lay attached to the bedposts. Apparently, the girl does have powers, to make all people around her fall prey to her spell, glissing progressively into desire, lust, and the unknown.
Directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet, Successive Slidings of Pleasure leans on a strong ensemble — Anicée Alvina, Olga Georges-Picot, Michael Lonsdale — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1974.
