Audience Member Beware! Very bleak, very serious, very dull. Other reviewers have gushed and called it 'magnificent' and 'haunting' however you may find yourself wondering what the fuss is about and very quickly not caring what happens to the painfully moody protagonists. If you enjoy people getting into cars and driving off and people opening doors and closing them, then this could be the film for you. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A young woman kills herself and we don't know why. Her story is told afterwards, interupted by some scenes taking place while she lies dead in bed. We never get the full story, we see how she got together with her husband, quite recently, and how they relationship was. Did she fail to adapt to the way of life that her husband wanted? Did he fail? Robert Bresson directed this slow drama, based on a Dostoevsky short story, as it's slowly half-opens up. It's not to say that it gives you many answers or that it will keep you thrilled. It's pretty flat and mysterious. It's safe to say that she never really loved her guy, but maybe it was her only choice? Not your standard romantic drama. It a sad and philosophical, bleak film, minimalistic and different. 6 out of 10 scarfs. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Bresson adapts a story by Dostoievsky for one of his best films, a study of the dynamics of marriage and relationships, 1960's style. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member In his most underrated feature, Bresson tells a very simple story about an unhappy marriage, what is so dynamic like Hitchock in his best form. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member First Bresson film in color. It's subtle, slow, oppressing. A beautiful poor girl finds a bourgeois husband whose jealousy kills her steadily. Bresson has always been obsessed with movements (arms, feet, steps). It's an odd but interesting film director's point of view, a bit old fashion though especially with this slow rhythm.
