UW Cinematheque - Bresson's Last Masterpieces

Cast: Christian Patey, Vincent Risterucci, Caroline Lang
In his stark final film, master filmmaker Bresson intensifies his austere blend of spiritual contemplation and formal precision. Inspired by a Tolstoy novella and re-set in contemporary Paris, L’argent tracks a counterfeit bill used in a schoolboy prank that ultimately is given to a young truck driver, leading to imprisonment and violence.
