Eden and After (French: L'Eden et après) is a 1970 French–Czechoslovak drama art film[3] directed by French novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet. It was entered into the main competition of the 20th Berlin International Film Festival.[4]

Instead of writing a detailed script for the film, Robbe-Grillet created a story through the composer Arnold Schoenberg's system for the twelve-tone technique and based the film's plot on the result. Since the project lacked a proper script, Robbe-Grillet hired obscure actors for most of the roles.

It's certainly not a movie for all tastes but those who appreciate oddball arthouse efforts with a bit of sex appeal should enjoy it
