BIOGRAPHY

André Pieyre de Mandiargues, a pivotal figure in French literature and a notable Surrealist, left an indelible mark on the film world through his provocative narratives. His novel *La Marge* (1967), which earned him the prestigious Prix Goncourt, was adapted into a film by Walerian Borowczyk in 1976, capturing the attention of collectors for its audacious themes and striking visuals. The movie, alongside Borowczyk’s *Immoral Tales*, highlights Mandiargues’ unique blend of eroticism and art, making these releases sought-after gems in the home video market. Another film that resonates with collectors is *The Girl on a Motorcycle* (1968), based on Mandiargues' novel *The Motorcycle* (1963). Starring Marianne Faithfull, this cult classic is cherished not only for its narrative but also for its stylish portrayal of freedom and rebellion, appealing to enthusiasts of both cinema and motorcycle culture.
