Narumi Herisson, Augustin Viard - La Japonaise (2025) [Hi-Res]

The radio broadcast *La Japonaise, the Phantom Film of Alain Robbe-Grillet* is a unique project that brings to life the unrealized 1960 screenplay of French writer and director Alain Robbe-Grillet. In 2020, France Culture adapted this screenplay for radio, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of an unfinished film.

The plot of *La Japonaise* unfolds in Japan, where the main character, a French engineer, becomes entangled in a mysterious and intense story that intertwines reality and illusion. The narrative is filled with elements characteristic of Robbe-Grillet: intricate timelines, ambiguous characters, and a play on the perception of reality.

Special attention in the radio adaptation is given to sound design. The original soundtrack, composed by Narumi Herisson and Augustin Viard, features analog synthesizers, the ondes Martenot, and electric guitar, creating an atmosphere that enhances the sense of mystery and intrigue.
