This energetic, enigmatic indictment of capitalism is a late masterpiece by Bresson, imbued with a fierce cinematic power and tautly positioned amid the coldly structured complexities of human behaviour. Adapted from a novella by Leo Tolstoy, Bresson's portrait of an ordinary man driven to evermore extreme crimes by social and financial forces beyond his control probes uncomfortably beneath the surface of `civilised' society. This compact, rigorously stylised film and the awkward questions it poses, about the nature of forgiveness and the possibility of redemption, is a rich testament to one of cinema's greatest auteurs.
