I'm apparently in the minority for finding <i>L'Argent</i> less than exciting. <br /><br />For whatever reason, Bresson discovered a way to make watching someone perform a menial task for an extended period fascinating. There's a meticulousness to his direction that I find impressive.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-30151380294717434162015-09-28T19:25:28.497-05:002015-09-28T19:25:28.497-05:00I saw it just a few days and I enjoyed it immensel...I saw it just a few days and I enjoyed it immensely. Well, maybe I didn't "enjoy" it because it is such a downer. But I was greatly affected and I can understand the praise it gets.<br /><br />As I got towards the end, I kept thinking, "Man, I bet Ingmar Bergman wished he had directed this." But alas, it was directed as Bergman was just starting his film career.<br /><br />As much as I've tried over the years to see at least a few of the main films of the most important directors, somehow Bresson has eluded me. (Except for The Devil, Probably, which I saw many years go.) So now I'm glad I DVRed three Bresson films off TCM's marathon. I liked Au Hasard Balthazar a lot, mostly for being so different from anything I've ever seen. I DVRed Pickpocket also but I haven't watched it yet.

What I learned is that it is better to eat some proper food.
