Description
L'argent Blu-ray CRITERION COLLECTIONIn his ruthlessly clear-eyed final film, French master Robert Bresson pushed his unique blend of spiritual rumination and formal rigor to a new level of astringency. Transposing a Tolstoy novella to contemporary Paris, L argent follows a counterfeit bill as it originates as a prop in a schoolboy prank, then circulates like a virus among the corrupt and the virtuous alike before landing with a young truck driver and leading him to incarceration and violence. With brutal economy, Bresson constructs his unforgiving vision of original sin out of starkly perceived details, rooting his characters in a dehumanizing material world that withholds any hope of transcendence.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackPress conference from the 1983 Cannes Film FestivalL argent, A to Z, a new video essay by film scholar James QuandtTrailerNew English subtitle translationPLUS: An essay by critic Adrian Martin and a newly expanded 1983 interview with director Robert Bresson by critic Michel CimentFEATURING:Actors: Caroline Lang, Christian Patey, Vincent Risterucci, Sylvie Van den ElsenDirectors: Robert BressonFormat: Subtitled, WidescreenLanguage: FrenchSubtitles: EnglishRegion: All RegionsNumber of discs: 1Rated: Unrated Not RatedRun Time: 84 minutes
