N. a pris les dés... (in French pronounced as /ɛn a pʁi le de/, French for "N. has taken the dice...") is a 1971 French experimental independent underground drama art film directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet.

Production

Alain Robbe-Grillet had signed for a production of two separate films from the same shot, with different editings of the same scenes, so to create two totally different plots: the first was Eden and After, the second N. a pris les dés...,[1] whose title is indeed an anagram of the other movie's original one (L'Éden et après). It tells the same story, but from the point of view of the male protagonist, who becomes the narrative voice, instead of the female protagonist, Violette (Catherine Jourdan).
