L'argent (1983)

£0.00

(Money)


Country: FR/SW
Technical: Eastmancolor 85m
Director: Robert Bresson
Cast: Christian Patey, Vincent Risterucci, Caroline Lang

Synopsis:

Two youths' casual passing off of a counterfeit banknote touches many lives but none more seriously than that of a hapless truck driver who loses his job, turns to petty crime and emerges from prison a remorseless killer.

Review:

Bresson's last film recalls many of his previous ones thematically (isolation, human cruelty, the redeeming grace of forgiveness); in terms of film language it has the same deliberate framing, emphasis on gesture and measured pace of all his work, so that the most everyday acts take on a ritualistic quality and the most dramatic ones scorn emotional appeal in favour of a reflective response.
