N. Took the Dice
1972 · 76 MIN · IMDB 6.0 · 331 VOTES · DIR. Alain Robbe-Grillet
Overview
N Took the Dice is essentially a reworking of Eden and After made possible by the roll of a dice (scenes from the 1970 film were combined with outtakes and additional footage in an aleatory way). Robbe-Grillet was always interested in music and since he perceived Eden and After to be serial in nature, it only made sense that its sister film would stand in opposition to that.

01:01:40 thinking mistakenly, of having lost the thread
01:03:49 that she weakens again.
01:05:03 An identical object.
01:10:07 It's the journey that matters, not the goal.
