The Garden of Torment, a 1976 French film based on Octave Mirbeau’s 1899 novel.

Set in China in the 1920s, the warlord era.

Erotic, arty, provocative, disturbing and convincingly decadent. The main female character is both evil and weirdly sympathetic.

There’s definitely a strong de Sade influence here.

Very highly recommended.

Trans-Europ-Express (1966), a movie by Alain Robbe-Grillet called Trans-Europ-Express about a writer-director played by Alain Robbe-Grillet planning a movie called Trans-Europ-Express. Yes, it’s all very postmodern.

It's a wonderfully playful and enticing mixture of thriller, fun and artiness (yes such a combination was possible in those happier days).
