Playing With Fire no doubt probably caught some of Robbe-GrilletвЂ™s most ardent admirers a bit off guard.

Robbe-Grillet was primed for a hit and Playing With Fire was the ideal film for him to make in 1975. Robbe-GrilletвЂ™s film career was at its peak by the mid-seventies as well and he had just come off one of his finest features, the hypnotic Successive Slidings of Pleasure (1974). While it is true that he had published less in the first half of the seventies than usual, due to his work in the cinema, Playing With Fire was accompanied by the release of his startling bound collection La Belle Captive, a work that Robbe-Grillet would later also turn into a film. Pete Tombs noted in his excellent Flesh and Blood article on Robbe-Grillet from the mid-nineties that Alain was, вЂњon a rollвЂќ in the period Playing With Fire came out. Featuring probably the single greatest cast Robbe-Grillet ever assembled (including Jean-Louis Trintignant, Anicee Alvina, Philippe Noiret, Agostina Belli, Serge Marquand and Sylvia Kristel) Playing With Fire was among the biggest moneymakers of the great directorвЂ™s career but, for some reason, it has almost always been overlooked as one of his greatest works. ~ Clarke Fountain, RoviДЄ typically mesmerizing and startling production from the much missed novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, Playing With Fire (Le jeu avec le feu) is a wonderfully satisfying film that proves as captivating as it is unforgettable.

The banker hires Frantz (Jean-Louis Trintignant) a disheveled, seedy detective to find his daughter and hide her safely away. The kidnappers have taken the wrong person.
