The Women of the Bois du Bologne, by Bresson. Yet

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

another magnificent film, this one seemingly an early version of "Les Liasons Dangereuses" but set in more modern times.
Maria Casares is magnificent (she also appeared in several Cocteau films, to great effect): one easily can see men throwing themselves at her.
This is very different from other Bresson films in that the performances seem polished, the style of acting professional. Yet, astonishing moral vision, fearless exposition of human vanity, cruelty, and destruction--- trademark Bresson features--- easily will be recognized.
Unlike Bergman, Bresson makes his "intellectual" films quite easy to appreciate: the women are gorgeous.
