The Man Who Lies (L'Homme qui ment)

The French-Czechoslovak art film The Man Who Lies (French: L'Homme qui ment, Slovak: Muž, ktorý luže) came out in 1968. Shot in French and running about 95 minutes, this drama bears the signature of writer-director Alain Robbe-Grillet, who also wrote the screenplay. It is regarded as a well-known example of his experimental approach to cinema.

Jean-Louis Trintignant takes the lead, and Catherine Robbe-Grillet is also in the cast. The cast list further names Sylvia Turbová, Zuzana Kocúriková, Július Vašek, Jozef Kroner and Ivan Letko. The film was shown in the competition of the 18th Berlin International Film Festival, where Trintignant received the Silver Bear for Best Actor for the role.

The film has also left a mark in critical writing. Gilles Deleuze used it as a central case in his lecture "Truth and Time: The Forger", while André Gardies gave it extensive space in his 1980 book on film narrative, Approche du récit filmique. Robbe-Grillet himself discussed the film in a series of interviews with François Jost, published as Entretiens sur l'Homme qui ment.
