une femme douce 1969 (dominique sanda)
mouchette, 1967 (nadine nortier, robert bresson)
if any information is wrong, please let me know. i found some errors in the philippe arnaud monograph (the title of the purcell piece used in une femme douce, i believe) and of course on the internet (which i don't want to add to). it became a little confusing gathering some specifics, esp. the music.
ReplyDeleteleft off some, in my opinion, dogs or non-bressonian films. i like les dames du bois de boulogne ok, but never saw it as a bresson film so much (not enough shoe sounds).
have tried 2 or 3 times to watch lancelot, and never made it through. my good friend says he would rather watch monty python and the holy grail with its humorous gore scenes, i agree.
for procès, not great either, but there are some really beautiful moments, found in the non-trial sections.
so i'm interested what you think about "le diable probablement" - non-bressonian or you didn't like it?
ReplyDeletei just skip and try not to think about the bad ones, every great artist makes a few mistakes.
ReplyDeletebresson is so amazing that he made only a few unwatchable films.
